A poor effort
I dislike this book for a number of reasons. Firstly it is incomprehensible, especially the examples. Some of the concepts are also not well explained. Secondly, it is not user-friendly. The ideas demonstrated are not presented in a coherent manner. Lastly, being basically a compilation from different authors, the chapters are also not well connected to each other. Overall a very poor effort.

A hodge-podge of chapters written mostly by accountan ts.
About half the chapters are written by various accountants employed by Price Waterhouse. Only 2 out of about 20 chapter authors are recognizable names in the field.

Derivatives - best book in the market
When it comes to Derivative products, pricing, valuation, the markets, and all the other issues, such as rating, documentation, accounting and taxation, you could not get a better mentor than Satyajit DAS, and this book is his best ever. It is a collection of topics and authors who are the leaders and the best in the field. THERE is simply NO other book that can be called a HANDBOOK on Derivatives, for everyone, students, financial professions, and professors, and for beginners, as well as advanced.
