Book: Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives

[Stephen Jin]

Someone suggested me to read two books as part of the preparation for mfe program:

1. Heard of the street
2. John C. Hull's derivative book.

My questions are:
1. I am reading A Primer for the Mathematics of Financial Engineering now. Do I need to read Hull's book as well?
2. Which Hull's book should I buy, if I need to? I listed a few.

Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives
Fundamentals of Futures and Options Markets with CDROM
Hull-White on Derivatives

Hull covers many instruments; the primer does only options, if I recall. So, you'll want to look at both.
