    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

  • Must Have for Any Serious Options Trader

    Fantastic book. I was looking for a dry but informative text book that was readable and this was it - little of the fluff that today's pompous traders seem addicted to putting in their own books. Many good examples in the book, illustrating key options strategy concepts. Of course, as this is the 5th edition, I know that it has withstood the test of time. My one gripe is that there needs to be an e-book version, this tome is far too heavy to lug around! (I'd really hope this isn't a 'money-grubbing' driver, but, alas, this is far too often the case with expensive books.)

  • It is the best

    As a newcomer to options, this 1,000 page tome is not fluff. McMillan can teach you the complete compendium of options knowledge. I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce.
