Terrible,
This review is from: Straight Talk About Bonds and Bond Funds (Paperback)
If you are someone who doesn't know much about bonds, and you are hoping this book will explain it. Don't buy it! This book is terribly organized. It never really tells you what bonds are. It also tells you about the theory behind the bonds before it tells you what kind of bonds exist! The text is also terribly dull.
