This is of course late, and so I've sworn a bloody oath to get this damned thing finished.

However, since it's out soonish, we're holding back on shipping V2.
 
For the cluless ones (i.e me) can you explain what this is...?

Well, he is a headHunter. He and Paul Wilmott (a Quant and cqf founder) put together this booklet ( I have read the earlier editions) that tell you about the process of getting a quant type job: The desirable skills, level of education, interview process, recommended texts etc. Its cool. The only thing missing is a summary of average salaries and an explanation about whether something like an MFE is truly necessary.
 
It was always free, but normally you could get it from Dominic directly in exchange for your resume. I'm not sure if Columbia has an agreement with him to place it on a public domain.
