This book is similar to "Options Futures and Other Derivatives", John Hull's big book, but it does have roughly 40-50% new banking material. At least half is recycled from Hull's other book, which is a better book, in my opinion.

I don't know if this price justifies 50% recycled content. And the math is notably simple. The material on copulas might make it into a future edition of Hull's other book, but banking topics like Basel, operational risk, economic capital, etc. probably will not.

My main complaint is that the hardcover version of this book seems very cheaply made -- over the course of one semester, the binding broke on every one of roughly 20 copies in our class, and pages were falling out all over. I have a beat-up copy of Hull's other book, and the binding is still fine.

I purchased a risk management book and its been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything from the seller. I've sent numerous emails and still haven't gotten a response as to what is happening with my purchase. The customer service is terrible.

This is a good one, nut I am a little disappointing about the material
which is most covered in Hull's "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives"
Except some idea about "Copula"!
