Excellent Overview of Structured Poducts
Had I only had this book at the beginning of my Sales career, life would have been much easier. The book is unique in many ways. First, it's the only book I know of which covers such a wide range of products. Second, product examples are often supported by money-flow-diagramms (e.g. Investor, Issuer, Swap Desk). Never seen that before. Third, termsheet-like examples are given to most of the products for better understanding. In this way, it's a book for investors/sales alike. It's simple and clear with no math at all. Level: Beginners - Advanced. The pro will miss more and up-to-date products, but how can a book provide that? Topics coverred like: Interest rate / Currency / Commodity / Equity / Credit / Inflation / Insurance linked Notes. Taxation and Market for Structured Products.

Good from far ... far from good
While it will be sufficient as a primer for entrants to the arcane world of the various branches of OTC derivatives especially in the fixed income area ...I suspect that many topics & inferences were plugged in from the author's many other publications which had been pretty prolific & churned out every other year ...
I will only recommend it as an introductory book for the student or new professional, but probably not relevant if you are a serious (or half serious) practitioner looking to keep abreast with the competition or the academics, and hoping to find something which you already do not know nor hear about.
