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)

Dense, mostly unreadable
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.

Comprehensive, but information/technology is dated.
Good source of basic information, but not much on hedging which is key. Also, information is somewhat outdated. Good to have for a reference book on daycounts, basic structures, etc. Similar Products
