Neftci's book Principles of Financial Engineering, NEW second edition

[Shlomi]

Hi guys,

I just bought the New edition of Neftci's book. The reason for posting this thread is that BORDERS.COM are group of amateurs. I ordered one book, but they made a mistake and send me two books, and charged me twice.
I'm telling you this story because I bought the book with promotion and paid $65. The list price is $100 before tax and you can find it at amazon for $80.

I can return them the book and get refund, but maybe someone here want to buy from me the book for $65. If someone is interested let me know.

Is there a significant difference between the 1st and 2nd editions?

 

[Shlomi]

The only thing that I know is that there are 5 new chapters

 

[Sanket Patel]

What are the new chapters? I checked online and both books, according to Barnes & Noble, have the same chapters.
1st Edition

2nd Edition

I have the 1st edition and I'm just wondering whether the 2nd edition is a significant update of the 1st.

It says on the back of the book, five new chapters, numerous additions to existing chapters, and an expended collection of questions and exercises make this second edition an essential part of everyone's library.

You can go to his website, get TOC of the first book and compare with the second book. It also says the second book has 250 extra pages
