Dense, mostly unreadable James Frohnhofer This book is probably useful as a reference for practitioners. (Or was useful -- as another reviewer points out, much material is dated.) As a text or learning tool it is not particularly good. While I understand that my disppointment was probably from a misunderstanding of the books target, in the sections that I have read, the author sometimes suffers from failing to see the forest for the trees.. Excellent review I find Satyajit Das's books to be quite comprehensive. Indeed, the material is encyclopedic in its coverage of swaps, derivatives and other structured products.Mr. Das provides original source material on swap structures and paces the reader through difficult material with ease. Anybody who is willing to spend the time will find the material well written from structurer, marketer and client perspectives. This makes it very useful for trading de. Sandesh Salvi said Comprehensive coverage. This is a very comprehensive book on this subject. Covers all the aspects of Swaps and related issues. Although, some isues like BIS guidelines are changed since the last publication of this book, it gives good idea of the regulatory and taxation issues of swaps & other related derivatives. This book can be used as a reference in this field. (not for first time reader of this topic)
