If anyone is like me, they have some finished books that won't be read anymore. I want to start a thread where people can connect to trade books. At the moment I have:

Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis - this one shows all the antics and craziness in 1980's Solomon Brothers
When Genius Failed - Roger Lowenstein - a history of LTCM, the hedge fund that's infamous for almost halting financial markets with it's losses
Confessions of a Street Addict - Jim Cramer - this book proves that Jim Cramer really is insane

I know these are pretty common books, but if you haven't read them yet I highly suggest that you do. Anybody else have books to offer?

There's a new book by Curtis M. Faith: "Way of the Turtle"

Seems to be a good/easy read.

I also think it's a good idea to post your Wishlist too so we can match offers better.
Books do not have to be finance-related,

I have a bunch of Dave Barry books. I will post the list of other books available to trade shortly.

I like this idea! But may I also suggest that when you try to trade/sell a book, could you highlight a few points to tell us why you think it's a worth-reading book?

I'd personally appreciate this...

Thanks!
 
If Possible can we propose these books to be bought for Quantnet library. We can start enriching the library.
 
I am also now looking for the book "Hot Commodities" by Jim Rogers. Does anyone have this up for trade?
 
I have Working the Street and have read it twice. The first when i borrowed it from Max and the second when I bought the book. I highly recommend it for someone who new to Wall street and wants to have a picture of where everything is. You'll learn what traders, quants, investment bankers, risk managers, etc ... do and how they fit into the bottom line of a firm. Hopefully, you will have some idea what role you want to be in and why.

Thin book and very easy to read.

Does anybody have a copy of the textbook 'Advanced Calculus (3rd edition)' by Taylor & Mann that they would be willing to sell or trade?
