Excellent introduction to options, swaps, et al, 2008-09-10
As other reviewers have said, this book is an excellent introduction. You'll need to look elsewhere if you require more depth on any of the topics, but this book excels as a concise, clearly written overview of derivatives.

Easy to understand and follow, 2008-04-27
You will need a little bit of working knowledge on the subject to fully understand the contents of this book but I would say that this book is one step up from beginners level. It is very easy to understand and follow if you take the time to read it carefully.

Well done., 2005-10-11
This book is what you expect from the title. It is a clear concise guide to understanding the logic and execution behind derivative trades. These principles can be used for trading but even more so for corporate finance executives to handle everyday currency exchange problems or to hedge against potential volatility in the future market. I read this one for a class first but am eager to pick up the Capital Markets book too.
