So far so good	Customer Rating:
Great purchase. The authors do a superb job of describing topics in basic terms then escalate to the nitty gritty number crunching behind the concepts. I recommend for anyone needing a complete guide to FI securities.

good overall reference	Customer Rating:
very good as a reference and general overview; if you want more detail and in-depth analysis you should look for something else but there's lots of specific lieterature out there so this still makes a good starting point

nice overview of a wide range of topics

Customer Rating:

i give 4.5 stars. many reviewers comment that this book lacks depth, but hey, it just tries to give a general overview on a variety of fixed income securities, that's what it is, and this book does reasonably well on this purpose. it never means to contain everything on every fixed income securities. the only thing i am concerned is that the page numbers listed on the index sometimes do not match.
