Perfect starting book 
If you are interested in starting on derivatives instrument this is one of the right books.
Well done. 
This book is what you expect from the title. It is a clear concise guide to understanding the logic and execution behind derivative trades. These principles can be used for trading but even more so for corporate finance executives to handle everyday currency exchange problems or to hedge against potential volatility in the future market. I read this one for a class first but am eager to pick up the Capital Markets book too.
Does exactly what it says in the title 
This book is for everyone in finance and banking or studying the subject who needs a well-written introduction or recap on derivative products. There are lots of examples and cases and the writing style is excellent, not that common in books about finance. Highly recommended.
The best book 
This is the best book I read on derivatives till date. I am a novice in finance but have a good understanding of maths. Mr. Andrew has done a fabulous job in explaining derivatives complexities. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in finance.
Easy to understand and follow 
You will need a little bit of working knowledge on the subject to fully understand the contents of this book but I would say that this book is one step up from beginners level. It is very easy to understand and follow if you take the time to read it carefully.
