Excellent but not the best
If you're looking for the best textbook on the subject, you need to get "Fixed-Income Securities: Valuation, Risk Management and Portfolio Strategies" by Lionel Martellini, Philippe Priaulet, and Stéphane Priaulet.It is the most up-to-date book on the subject. Moreover, you will get a lot of worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems with solutions.
It is the best investment you can make on a fixed-income book.
Thank you,

A great book
A great book that makes a complicated and necessarily highly quantitative subject accessible to a wider public.
Able to simply explain difficult concepts.
Probably the best in fixed income teaching.
Your money will be well spent. Congratulations to Bruce Tuckman.

The best book out there...
Since all of the reviews cover the first edition, it's definitely worth noting that the 2nd edition is much improved. I've read most of the introductory books on fixed income, and none explain the market as clearly and intuitively as Tuckman. Anyone who is joining a fixed income desk or who seeks to learn more about this area should pick up this book before any others. The repo markets, interest rate and asset swaps, forwards, and futures are all covered in excellent detail. There are few discussions of duration and convexity that rival this one. Overall, this book scores high in all major areas and is highly recommended by all those I know who have come across it. Similar Products
