Fantastic introduction to Fixed Income! The book doesn't cover plethora of topics but what it does it covers well. I really liked the explanations on Treasury Futures, Short Rate Models. Some sections could be better written for e.g. Securitised Products. Overall, I would rate this and Hull's book as a must read for beginner quants.

It's a good book. I'm talking about the third edition that came out in 2012. But it's poorly written. The authors talk about things the way the narrator of Gossip Girl talks. They discuss things in a manner in which you tell your kid a fairy tale before saying good night to her/him. One should never try to discuss science in such way, ever.
But it has good stuff in it. It's almost like an aweful stand up comedian that throws a golden punch line every twenty minutes. Hopefully you are still awake then.
The overall reading experience could be summarized as 70% percent of the time you wonder "what in the wolrd are you on about, yo" and 5% of the time you go "wow, that does make sense. You practionners do know things a professor doesn't!"

Good basic intro to fixed income. A little too academic and could be organized better. Still a good resource to have though.
