Good Quant Books at nice prices
Please fell tree use this thread to post any new findings of nice Quant books available at low prices.
(There is also Quant book deals section on homepage which generated by robot and lists an item if there is a sudden drop in some book.It is not a very good algorithm and will need a manual judgement if the book is good enough)

Thanks aolfooler! I had hesitatingly ordered this book, but after getting it now I can say that this is one of the best books I have bought till now. I would say it is like Hull for fixed income, or compare with Espen's Option pricing formula. Or may be better. The book quality is also pretty good.
