Greetings -

I am writing to let you know that an updated new edition of "Getting Started in Options" has just been released by John Wiley & Sons. To read about the book please use the direct link to Amazon.com: tinyurl.com/aokdpbw

This book has been an amazing success over the past 25 years, and has sold over 250,000 copies in its past 8 editions. The secret to its success, I believe, is that it presents everything in clear, non-technical language; with sidebars for valuable resources and key points; many example, and definitions in context.

Another feature in this new edition is that it is an "illustrated edition." Not only are the in-chapter illustrations more extensive; the publisher also asked me to write a one-page comic strip for the end of each chapter. They then had an illustrator develop the artwork for the running comic theme. I must say, the illustrator was great. The comic version of me actually looks like me!

The latest edition's table of contents:
