4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Foundation - Not Too Dry, February 7, 2003

By	"byronsnotes" (West Chester, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How the Bond Market Works (Hardcover)

If you've read any number of books on investing, you know they can be tedious. But this book is relatively crisp and to the point. When the details of a subject are beyond the scope of a 200 page read, the book says so. If you are doing anything related to bond investing (even programming!) you should get started with this book.
