Could someone please suggest the best book for quant interviews? From the best selling books list, I see there are books by Joshi, Crack, Wilmott, and Zhou. If you only have time to read one, which one would best prepare you for quant interviews? Furthermore, it seems that none of the books contains enough questions on programming. Please also suggest a book for programming questions.
 
Thank you for the link. I will definitely read it for C++ questions. Do you have any suggestions regarding the books I mentioned in my first post?
 
I don't think you should get one book since they are all complementary of one another and have little overlapping. I know many MFE students got all of them, so do myself. I heard good feedback for Mark Joshi book. Crack book is more for MBA type applicants and not much hard core quant type.
Books are the cheapest form of investment you can do to improve your chance of landing a job.

BOOKS FOR QUANT INTERVIEWS
 
Thanks Andy. That's exactly the answer I was looking for. I just wanted to hear from those of you who have read a few of the books to see if some books have overlapping material or have different target readers. I guess I should read Joshi's book and avoid Crack's book since it's more targeted for MBA students.
