Short Selling by Taulli

Interesting read. I found the information on point for what I was researching. There are some distracting typos that made me reduce to a four star rating.

Worth the money

If you are a professional regarding short selling, I suppose this book will not cut it. For the person getiing their feet wet, this book is very informative, and gives a good basic for shorting. Easy to understand and well written. Points you in the right direction. It does not fool you into thinking there is no homework to be done before you short.

Excellent overview of the short selling process

With the problems in the markets -- which seem to just continue -- this book provides a way to make money. I always hear about short selling, such as on CNBC and the Wall Street Journal, but never hear any explanations. This book shows how to get started and how to deal with the pitfalls, such as the short squeeze. This is a very good book and highly recommended.
