Customer Review:
+ A good introduction to understanding the bond market and how to invest in it. Clear, succinct and more readable than some more technical books on the subject.

Full of useless info (the days of the week on which Treasury auctions take place, for example) larded with annoying attempts at humor. Fidelity and Pimco have the essentials about bonds on their websites, the latter for free, so why buy this?
