Summary: Good Introduction
Date: 2008-11-17 - 
Comment: + 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. However, The Bond Book is a bit dated, the second and latest edition is from 2000, it's in need of an update. Overall this is a good first choice as a primer if you're not too concerned about the latest developments in bond derivatives.

Summary: A solid introduction
Date: 2007-09-28 - 
Comment: A great introduction to bonds and there place in a portfolio. The perfect place for the individual to start if they are considering purchasing individual bonds for their portfolio.
However, anyone looking for more in-depth information and strategies will likely be disappointed. Relatively little information about Zeros, TIPS and other products that are likely to be of interest. Start here, and then increase your knowledge with a title specific to your interests (i.e. municipal bonds, etc.).

Summary: God book but too general
Date: 2007-01-04 -
Comment: I ordered this book for my business library. I enjoyed the book, but if you want more specifics on the methods of detailed bond calculations, I would recommend a good financial investments text book.

Summary: Primer on Fixed Income Products
Date: 2005-09-09 - 
Comment: Am nearly finished reading the 2nd printing of this excellent tutorial. Although I have been an avid buyer & seller of fixed income products for many years, the author did a superb job of furthering my mid-level expertise especially in the area of municipal bonds. Her plain language explanations were most welcome as opposed to the plethora of financial techno-babble tomes that share the bookshelf. 5 Stars without reservation.

Summary: Too Complicated
Date: 2005-04-19 - 
Comment: Thau over complicates her points. The book is too difficult to understand. I am an attorney who has been investing in stocks and bonds for over 10 years. This book is not appropriate for any level investor.
