Format:Hardcover
Beeing a professional myself I can wholeheartedly recommend this well written book. Virtually all you need to know in today's bond and money market is explained in simple English and not only are the formulae displayed but also calculated examples are shown.
This book is written by someone who preaches from experience and not just someone from a well known university.
A book than can be used immediately by someone who is new to the market or for spmeone that need to brush up on a particular subject.
Comes highly recommended and worth the price. A+++

This is the benchmark book on bonds against which all other should be compared. It covers everything one would need and is written in a nice reader-friendly style. Starts at introductory level but then goes on to very advanced treatment. Recomended for students and practitioners alike. Buy it!

Format:Hardcover
After spending a lifetime reading dry prose in capital markets texts, this is like a fresh breeze from an author with knowledge and experience. Swaps - I finally get them.
The conversational style and ample examples and illustrations make the understanding of some complex issues very easy. I suggest that every market pro will find something of use and most will end up with a well thumbed copy. Even novices will find this extremely useful.
