Editorial Review: Product Description
The Options Playbook was created to demystify option trading and teach investors different option plays for all market conditions. No confusing jargon. No unnecessary mumbo-jumbo. Just clear, easy-to-understand explanations of more than 30 of the most popular option strategies (or plays ) broken down into a play-by-play format including:
Play Name: Long Call, Short Call Spread, Iron Condor, etc.
The Setup: The goals and reasons to run each play
Who Should Run It: Rookies, Veterans or All-Stars, based on degree of difficulty
When To Run It: Describes each play as bullish, bearish or neutral
The Strategy: A detailed Overview of each strategy
The Options Playbook also features a "Rookie's Corner," which addresses common mistakes made by beginning options traders and suggests strategies to on how to "get your feet wet". There are also sections on implied volatility (explaining how it can be predictive of the future price movement of the underlying equity), basic option terms described in easy-to-understand language, a description of how time decay and a change in implied volatility will affect the trade after it s in place, and a basic description of the Greeks and how they measure certain variables that affect options pricing. You ll also find a variety of options trading tips for beginning and experienced traders throughout the guide.
Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. It is possible to lose more money than invested. (Although we like to think you'll be smart.) Before making any investment decisions, please read Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, available at: http://content.tradeking.com/wiki/display/tkservice/Characteristics+and+Risks

Summary: Perfect companion to Overby's videos
Date: 2008-11-26 - 
Comment: This book enabled me to find Brian Overby's videos, created for the CBOE and I think still available on the CBOE website [...] and Youtube. While I enjoyed the book and learned from it, after watching the author's video classes I realized that the book is mostly a quick reference. For example, Mr Overby does a *one hour* video on bull call spreads--and he needs every minute of it. His book, on the other hand, has just one page of text on the same subject. So, find and watch the videos first, then keep the book as a reference on the properties of each strategy. One more thing: the tone of this book seems just right. None of the "let's all get rich now!" nonsense found in some investing books and options seminars, but also none of the ominous, exaggerated warnings contained in others.

Summary: Too Expensive for LIttle Substance
Date: 2008-11-13 - 
Comment: The book is more of an introduction with some basic methods to trade, it does not go into much detail. If you are interested in trading options and what strategies to use for different scenarios, you are better off looking elsewhere.

Summary: Options made eas(ier)
Date: 2008-10-31 - 
Comment: Before reading this book, I knew nothing about options. I had been trading stocks online for 5 years. The book is easy to read and understand. Options are still complex to me and I often refer back to this book. Brian Overby does a good job breaking down options trading into understandable parts.

Summary: LOVE IT
Date: 2008-09-13 -
Comment: This is by far the best book on Option plays. It doesn't get too fancy, and is more of a summary of the most commonly traded strategies.... all in a neat little book.
You need to understand Options before getting this book, but it does explain it a little... but there are better books out there that do better explaining.
I keep this book JUST for the plays. It's a quick reference that is easy to access.
