––Lawrence J. Lasser, President and Chief Executive Officer, Putnam Investments

"At last, a lucid overview of the fixed income marketplace has been written for the individual investor. In a light–hearted manner–but based upon solid fundamentals–Ms. Wright has translated the jargon–filled world of bonds into actionable information. I highly recommend Getting Started in Bonds to anyone planning to become involved in fixed income investing."

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful primer on the bond markets, 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I quite liked the style - it is an easy book to read. It has quite a few useful tips of the trade. It is obviously an introductory level text and skates over most of the technicalities, but it's very good on the stuff that it does cover. There are one or two typographical errors (mislabelled diagrams etc.) that may cause a bit of confusion. Overall though, I thought that it was very good.
