A Gem
I work in the business and I have read and struggled through a lot of books on options and other derivatives. This one stands out as a true gem. It is practical, yet thorough. It is accessible to the interested layman, but it doesn't condescend or skimp on key concepts. The questions at the end of each chapter allow you to solidify the concepts explained in the chapters without spending your whole weekend on them. The software that comes with it lets you play with the concepts in real time until you grasp them intuitively, not just theoretically: concepts such as the "greeks"--delta, gamma, theta, and vega, hedging, the relationship between options and the underlying instruments, and so on. Don't be misled by the reasonable price. (Books in this genre usually start at over $50.) You can slog through a lot of options books and log a lot of hours, but I'll be you get more out of this per minute invested than any other book on options.
