The Amazon version of the new edition (Feb 2011) is not allowing me to "See inside the Book"... so can't figure out what's new!

I believe he is talking about "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives"

I have this book. It's not as mathematical as McDonald's one. I personally prefer McDonald's Derivatives markets but McDonald doesn't explain topics exhaustivly, concentrates mainly on math. Hull on the other hand explains topics in greater details but lacks mathematics I think.

I finished reading Derman's My life as a quant and wish to hear about new published book from him. It was really very good read. Particularly I liked the part where he talks about Fischer Black. Somebody mentioned previously that it is a must read for quants, really it is like, "out-reading" book like when having free time and spend enjoying reading.
