[T]he new bible for municipal bond-bond issuers....clear guidance and smart answers for everyone in the field. -- James B.G. Hearty, Managing Director of Lehman Brothers
Review
"Joe Mysak explains even the most complex subjects with a refreshing simplicity. He maintains his ever-present skepticism about much of what usually turns out to be flimflam in the guise of new products and financial engineering. This is a book for anyone--even investors without specialized financial backgrounds--who needs to understand what all the noise is about in a bond sale."
—Frank R. Hoadley
Capital Finance Director, State of Wisconsin

"The Handbook for Muni-Bond Issuers is what public finance professionals want to have on their shelves, both a good read and a useful reference. Joe Mysak treats the fundamentals--and the foibles--of the municipal bond market in clear, concise language and takes time to tour some frequently bypassed, but very practical subjects, like winning bond elections and investing bond proceeds."
—John Petersen
President, Government Finance Group
"Joe Mysak has written the new bible for municipal bond issuers. The search is over--this book provides clear guidance and smart answers for everyone in the field."

This review is from: Handbook for Muni-Bond Issuers (Bloomberg Financial) (Kindle Edition)
Wanting a refresher on how the muni bond market works, I picked up this book and wasn't disappointed. Unlike other financial books, this book is written keeping the layman reader in mind. I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about the municipal bond market however I would also recommend doing some additional reading online since this book was written in the 1990's and some of the information, while still accurate, may be a bit dated.
