Help remembering book title (solved)
I lost a book on modeling securitizations and I cannot recall the title or author. I think was written by a guy at Citi's SSG group. It looked pretty intense, about 500-700 pages I think. I tried some Google searches but they've been fruitless. Anyone have an idea of what book I'm talking about?
