 Great Overview, 2010-02-15
In working for a fund of hedge funds (similar to the author) I found this book to be very accurate. It's a great overview of the industry (particularly from the fund of funds side). I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a good overview of the business.

Elementary Overview for the Newcomer, 2009-04-06
This is a very basic introduction to equity hedge fund investing. the portion of the title "The Easy Way to Get Started" is probably a bit misleading - it is the equivalent to a "Dummies" level book on hedge funds - but written in a bit more serious tone. The information is pertty good - if getting somewhat dated given current events.
I find it interesting that the author almost predicts the current hedge fund debate when this was written back in 2002. He also makes it clear that in his opinion, more regulation doesn't necessarily mean less risk.
The book is good for the first timer in the space, or someone who is trying to get a basic understanding of what a hedge fund is and what equity hedge funds do.

The first thing you need to know about hedge funds: everybody talks about hedge funds, 2008-05-11
Lately, I have been having conversations with people who are engaged in the hedge fund business. For a while, I didn't know what they were talking about and that was probably because my knowledge of how financial markets work was limited.
I bought this book from a regular bookstore because I thought it would help me make sense of what hedge fund managers, hedge fund marketers and partners in hedge funds were talking about.
I learned that what they were talking about was basic market knowledge. Hedge funds are the pinnacle of information sourcing and trading. It's not that there is something magical about them. Hedge funds are simply the conglomeration of the most sophisticated and innovative trading techniques that can be brought to action in capital markets.
This book doesn't tell you how to run your own hedge fund, but it totally helps you understand the context in which hedge funds operate, and therefore, what makes a hedge fund a lucrative and necessary tool of the market.

 What I was looking for, 2007-12-31
This book was what I was looking for. It's a nice introduction to hedge funds and the industry. The book does an excellent job of providing the information in complete and concise detail. I bought my copy used so I'm even more happy with it.
