Very good basi bond book The book is an easy read and full of useful information.A great place to begin to understand bonds.The book is wrriten by someone with "Big Bank" experience selling bonds, not just someone with a CFP (like the Bonds for Dummies book).By the way the author of the Bonds for Dummies books states the CFP and the CFA designations as similarwrong. The CFP does not cover investing anywhere near the level of a CFAwhen an author makes such uninformed statement I have no confidence in his book.Anyway, this is not a book about duration, convextiy or OAS, but you will learn enough to make basic. "A useful primer on the bond markets" according to 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.. "Excellent Guide to the Bond Market!" according to Sarah Brachman. This book is brimming with information on bonds. It is a straightforward guide for people just getting started in the bond market. The examples and definitions are extremely useful, and help to demystify the subject. And it is easy to read!
