For instance, after many frustrating attempts, I finally stumbled across the reason why the "Set as Primary" SMTP addr button doesn't work, even though this book says "you simply click" it. (You apparently first have to clear the checkbox near there that ties primary addresses to policies.)

Another frustration is that the indexing is weak. A book this large is primarily used as a reference work, with the primary access path through the index. While not as weak as some lousy indexes I've cursed, this one rarely leads me from the term or concept I know to the few paltry pages this book includes on the closest topic.

The book provided a lot of helpful info that is well-written and clear; I was especially appreciative of the excercises at the end of each chapter since there is a bit of math involved with commodities trading and one needs to practice at it. I was NOT appreciative of the chapter dedicated to studying for the NCFE. It was just a filler where they stuffed in a sample exam, answers, and some commentary. Something like that should be put in an appendix, but better yet, made into a separate booklet. I would recommend this book, but even more highly if the authors put out an updated second edition where they improve the introductory chapter, devote a new chapter to internet trading, and make sure the glossary covers ALL the terms.

The title is somewhat misleading as this is not "all" there is to know about commodities, but the authors do not profess to have covered the subject in its entirety. They even give a fairly extensive list of books for further reading. What they have done is to cover the major aspects of commodities trading in a comprehesive, well-written manner. Though even as a beginner, I would have liked to have had a more thorough explanation of the various trading systems (many are covered). Or, perhaps just more examples showing how the systems work in actual practice. This is about my only criticizm.

Warsendorf and McCafferty's philosophy on developing your own trading system was refreshing to me. Instead of saying that one should follow their system, they say that you should study many trading systems and then develop your own. It reminded me of Bruce Lee's "Tao of Jeet Kune Do." Much of the book is filled with this sort of sound, common sense advice.

All in all, it was a good read. I feel well grounded in the subject and ready to tackle more detailed books.

If you're a beginner, this is a good place to start; if you're a veteran, try the tests at the end of the chapters and see how your knowledge of commodities and trading stacks up!

Unless this book is updated, this is not a good resource.

But then Nick discovers that some very strange things start happening to him when he falls asleep wearing his grandfather's jersey. He start s hearing voices calling him "John" and saying weird things like "Fifty-three bob, odd six, on one!" Is Nick dreaming or running a fever? Or has he really switched places with John Elway, leading the Denver Broncos against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football? Gordon Korman takes the standard fantasy of wanting to trade places with your favorite player and adds a worthwhile lesson a bout how talent means nothing unless you are willing to work hard. In the front of this book you will find a message from John Elway about making your dreams come true through hard work, while in the back you will find "The Official Monday Night Football Club Story of Comeback King John Elway" and a letter from the Bronco's quarterback about the work of The Elway oundation. "Quarterback Exchange" is a pleasant enough little story that will hopefully hit home with some of its young readers.
