The new, updated version confirms John's status as the top writer in this sector.

A must for all practitioners- – I thoroughly enjoyed it."<br /> —Robert Palache, Managing Director, Head of European Infrastructure Finance and Corporate Securitisation, Barclays Capital</p> <p>"Deacon’s book is an unparalleled treatise on all aspects of asset securitisation and CDOs and is ideal for use by both experienced market practitioners and by those new to the seemingly ever-expanding world of securitisation. The book comprehensively outlines the various structures encountered, ranging from true sale and future flow financings to synthetics and whole business, addressing not only the framework of the structures but also the regulatory and accounting implications. A must have reference book."<br /> —David Newby, Executive Director, ABN AMRO BANK N.V., Head of UK and Irish Securitisation, Head of European Commercial Real Estate Securitisation</p> <p>"John Deacon’s experience in seeing a myriad of securitisation structures as an investor, as well as in using securitisation technology to create investment capacity brings a unique, practical perspective to the securitisation market.

In addition to providing core legal analysis (which readers can research in more depth elsewhere if required), the book gives valuable insight into the key business issues that have to be addressed as well as the rationale for particular structures. The country analysis is an especially good starting point in looking at any jurisdiction."<br /> —Neil Campbell, Partner, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, Head of Securitisation and Structured Finance, Asia-exJapan.</p> <p>"Drawing on his extensive experience as a highly successful market professional John Deacon has written an important, authoritative and comprehensive work on the burgeoning and highly dynamic global securitisation, credit derivative and CDO markets.
