The book is written in clear, concise language which makes it easy for novices to understand, whilst at the same time providing a great deal of information to a more seasoned negotiator. This book is an excellent follow on to the [public] course presented by the "Derivatives Documentation" team. I think this is an investment for ISDA Master Agreement negotiators.'
