4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best introductions to the subject
This is one the best introductory textbooks on the subject of financial markets and institutions. It is comprehensive and full of examples and exercises. The authors do an excellent job of presenting complex concepts in a relatively simple and straightforward style. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst written books on the subject
The idea to have a broad but thorough overview of different financial markets is brilliant. However, the author has real talent to make relatively simple ideas incomprehensible. Overall, the book is very difficult to read, language and wording are terrible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Precise, Clear and Helpful, January 12, 2001
By 
Jack Sheu (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Markets, Instruments, and Institutions (Hardcover)
The authors not only demonstrate their understanding of financial markets by way of the breadth and precision of the topics discussed, but they also present the material in a way that is understandable to even those uninitiated in finance. If you are looking to learn the basic concepts underlying the various markets (equity, bond, mortgage, etc.), and you are interested by the wide range of pricing tools available today, this book is up your alley.
