The Samuelson of Finance
(Arlington, VA USA) July 7, 2001 - 5.0/5 stars

There is a reason that this text has been in print for so many years - in my view it is the Samuelson of the financial world because there is no other work that presents such a cogent as well as comprehensive introduction to the mechanics of derivatives securities.

As a person involved in dealing with these monsters on a daily basis, Hull lives on my desk and has been a constant source of reference.

It is also widely used by others in the industry. If Wiener Processes and Ito's Lemma are part of your life, this book is the one to get!

PS...the solutions manual is a very useful companion if you want to get full value out of the book, but I have always thought it unfair of textbook publishers to print separate solutions texts when the main work is so expensive in the first place.

Is it so hard or costly to tack on 50 extra pages, or it the old story of the monopolist extracting his due?
