The publisher of this book has a reputation for publishing multiple books on a topic and letting them compete with each other. That is the case with this book, which comes out at the same time as two other Wiley releases on structured finance: Fabozzi, Davis, Choudhry (2006) and Culp (2006). This book pales in comparison.

One specific criticism is that the choice of topics is somewhat non-standard. I don't know why the author has chapters covering callable bonds, stripped bonds, convertible bonds or mutual funds. I doubt anyone considers these structured products. Material on options trading strategies and options spreads seems also out of place. It would have been nice to cover project finance or leasing, but these aren't addressed.
