Great book, definitely.
This is a less theoretical book than the usual technical option math books, but a great one at that.
I would say that this book should be the introduction to volatility trading every trader should start on.
The chapters on probability in models, standard deviations, and especially the one on volatility and its characteristics are extremely insightful.
Less technical but full of valuable content.
