Format:Hardcover
This book is about the most exhaustive reference upon fixed income securities you are likely to find. Although some might find it difficult to get into the book, it is not necessary to read it all in one go, nor to consult each chapter in order. Each is self contained. For those lacking experience in the field, the first few chapters ease you into how bonds are valued and what kind of varieties they are available in, before tackling more individual issues. If you are either a corporate finance specialist or a student of finance, this single text will be able to cure much of what ails you, and is absolutely indeispensible as a desktop reference. Simply Suberb.

This is a gigantic book, it covers every possible topic on the subject. It's for the profesional as a guide and reference. For the beginner its useful for those who need to understand a particular subject in depth and make informed decisions,or question their broker. It's not a dummies book !!!

By far the best book on fixed income.
This isn't a math book. But it is a complete description of the fixed income world. It provides the missing link between the Market and the mathematical theory. Read more
