"Entry level options book - Barely specific to Commodity Options" according to Mann B.. Very, very disappointing book from my point of view!I've a good experience of Equity Options Trading, but no experience at all in Commodity Options Trading. So I expected from the title of this book that it deals with the specific aspects of Commodities, as compared with more conventional Equity or Index options. How to build a volatility surface, how to manage a portfolio composed with Commodity Options & Futures with several maturities, how to understand and manage seasonality and so on.Instead, it's simply. Not as Advertised I purchased this book thinking it would be filled with information about the commodities market. After all, the title was Commodities Options.
