Best trading book for interest rate products (up to derivatives)?

Hi,

Just wondering what the best books are for interest rates products - just to learn the basics about the underlying products, but spanning up to some derivative products as well? Which one is worth starting with (or maybe there is one missing from the list that is even better)? I don't think reading them all is practical given that I/we only have a finite amount of time at school/work which we can invest in them. 

Books I have seen recommended:

- "Interest Rate Markets: A Practical Approach to Fixed Income" - Siddhartha Jha

- "The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities" - Frank Fabozzi

- "Fixed Income Securities" - Angel Serrat, Bruce Tuckman

- "Fixed Income Securities: Valuation, Risk, and Risk Management" - Pietro Veronesi

- "Fixed Income Markets and Their Derivatives" - Suresh Sundaresan 

Thanks.
