just got the book (the UPS guys never announce themselves, so the book's still near frozen) It has a good practical layout, straitfwd presentation, doesn't look as wordy as OSI, and seems to have things I've only seen bits and pieces of in odd places. It seems to be written more like a manual than OSI (which to me is written more as a textbook). Good discussions on volatility, but since that's part of the books title, that would make sense. However, the math appendix doesn't seem to enumerate any more formulas than OSI... as a matter a fact, a spot check had N only listing one way to calc historical vol, whereas OSI calcs it also w/ IV of nearby strikes. Looks like a good complement to McMillan (even tho N lists OSI as an 'elementary' recommended reading book. :-) I look forward to using it as a companion reference w/ OSI.
