 the most comprehensive book on the subject September 27, 2008
The most comprehensive book on the subject period. If you are in the industry you must have it. Best used as a reference manual to go through whenever needed. Kinda bland book which you would not want to read to finish from page 1 to the end.
Details July 9, 2008
This product is very beneficial for me. Because I would like to learn sth can't see easily about mortgage. This book covers both permanent examples and academic details.
On the other hand it contains too much article from different writer. So that We can learn different idea about mortgage and deduction for our study.
 Definitely lacking, but OK for traditional mortgage products March 27, 2007

I have to say that Fabozzi has the formula down pat--he gets "guest writers" to contribute various chapters to this book and does very little writing himself. The result is a disjointed, sometimes repetitious, other times incomplete volume. This book focuses extensively on agency mortgages--Ginnies, Fannies, Freddies--and speaks only a bit to the Alt-A, subprime and more exotic privately-originated mortgage markets. To call this book comprehensive would be a lie. Although this book was highly recommended to me by a PM at a traditional long-only manager, I can only guess that previous versions were better, because this one was certainly a high-priced primer that still left many areas of the market uncovered. Areas that are glaringly missing (beyond non-agency topics) include the role of hedge funds, loss mitigation/foreclosure processes, more info on EPDs, and the erosion of lending standards/rise of the subprime market. I think that a chapter on common mortgage origination fraud issues is also merited.
This book is good for the basics, on agencies. Beyond that, it may leave you scratching your head and wondering, "And...." because there is a palpable sense of incompletion. Borrow this book from someone else that already has it--don't buy it!
Good book January 26, 2007

A vast collection of articles by practitioners on Wall Street, this book covers a broad number of topics on Mortgage Backed Securities. While not a scholarly approach, 'street research' typically aims to educate the fixed income portfolio manager.
