Fabozzi handbooks are overrated
(New York) June 27, 2000 - 3.0/5 stars
It's the industry standard. Everyone has one. It stands alone in its
field. And if you're reading this you're probably going to buy regardless
of what is written here.But I've found this book (along with some of the
other Fabozzi 'Handbooks') to be overrated.
Basically, the format of 30
or so different authors each writing a chapter in the form of an article
diminishes the usefulness of the book.
There is no narrative, pedagogical
or otherwise. The format leads to significant gaps in coverage. The
quality of the chapters is uneven, as is the level of detail
covered. Don't misunderstand me -- the Handbook isn't bad, by any
strecth of the imagination.
It's just not as good as it could be. It
has almost no fluff, and all the information in it is good. And the
competition is a very slim field.
For many things Fabozzi is not only
your best choice, it's your only one.
