Books on traded products

I'm looking for books about trading, with an emphasis on the products being traded. That is, I'm not looking for something like Liar's Poker or When Genius Failed, but rather on futures contracts, options, etc. On that note, are there any commonly used books in training programs for bb trading desks?

just saw hull came out with 7th Ed. I still have 6th Ed from when I took derivs at Penn - is it strange that I'm considering buying a textbook and I'm not a student?
