I bought this book with the understanding that I would also get the online video access, supplemental materials, and testing material using the website printed in the text. However it appears they have removed all of the online material and the website I was referred is used to SELL books and videos. I am shocked Sheldon Natenberg would be associated with such dishonesty. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. This a pure bait and switch and on the verge of mail fraud. I give it one star since I cannot assign anything lower.

I had bought one of the Authors other Volatility books and I thought Basic Option Volatility Strategies looked like a good book to compliment this other book I have.

It came in the mail and the envelope loooked to small for this book I ordered, felt almost like the size of a DVD case?

Opened it, Major disappointment, It is more like a quick guide and the online content is misleading as one other reviewer has pointed out.
You can go online to view the videos and tests but you have to register with a website and give out all your personal info, (Name Address City state email etc. As Well 39.95 was alot to shell out for this content.

A book without the online gimmick is what I wanted... I have since returned it

This is an amazing format. It has a video presentation and includes a complete course book based on the information. The video is online as well as self tests and charts. Imagine having Natenberg give a presentation and getting a guided tour with complete explanations of what he is discussing. A great place to start before reading his other works or follow up if you already have. I think it is an updated softcover version of the blue and white book.
