Interesting historical read.......2007-08-14

I enjoy this book because it has so many plants in it, even plants we don't usually consider herbs. It gives a lot of info about each plant listed. Very good!

Firstly, to dream of white flowers has been supposed to prognosticate death; with which may be compared the popular belief that "if a white rosebush puts forth unexpectedly, it is a sign of death to the nearest house;" dream-omens in many cases reflecting the superstitions of daily life. In Scotch ballads the birch is associated with the dead, an illustration of which we find in the subjoined lines:....

Customer Reviews:

Warning! Not really for US residents!.......1999-02-15

Good amount of information, and one would think from the title that this is a comprehensive guide to buying a home in Florida. BUT...the book was written for UK buyers, and a lot of the book is taken up with information about obtaining residency and the like. For people inside the US, there are high points worth reading, but mostly not. Probably very useful for Canadians and Europeans.

Written for citizens of the United Kingdom - NOT AMERICANS.......2006-01-30

This book was written for citizens of the United Kingdom and other countries. Its value to American buyers, investors, and developers is VERY LIMITED. It deals primarily with visa, British Law, and expatriate issues. It contains two types of information: 1. general comments regarding real estate in the U.S.A. and 2. Florida tourist information (e.g. ...the best place to eat dinner in Tampa). All financial information is expressed in terms of the British Pound.

Book Description

Here is the first user-friendly guide to valuing mortgage-backed securities in the new prepayment environment. William Bartlett offers specific guidelines for making informed decisions, focusing on the questions to ask before pursuing high-stated yield with bond classes and derivatives that may not perform well in volatile markets. The Valuation of Mortgage-Backed Securties explores: the econometric models--such as prepayment and OAS models--used by Wall Street firms to project the performance of specific MBS bond types; the many varieties of mortgage-backed securities, including those with protection features against early prepayment, default, refinancing and first calls on cash flows; how to determine which MBS issue may be appropriate for a specific portfolio objective.

Customer Reviews:

An Excellent First Read on the Subject.......1998-11-03

Barlett basically takes you by the hand with MBS in such a way that you feel everything is explained thoroughly. I never felt that I needed to go to a second book to doubled-check my understanding of the material...such as with the Fabozzi Handbook. Too bad it's now out of print. Barlett should come out from hiding and update this great work with a new edition!

The best book on CMOs there is........1997-04-02

The most comprehensive treatment to Mortgages and Mortgage Backed Securities ever. Slightly dated.
