Great introduction to commodities trading, though the focus is more on trading the financial derivative (eg options) than the physical commodity.

Though to be fair - it does teach you a little about the actual commodity (e.g. understanding the life cycle of a hog if you want to trade in agriculture). It's an ambitious book that aims to cover quite a bit - and does so well in the limited space it has.

Nice introduction to commodities and is fast-read. However, it focus more on trading commodities than the underlying assets.
