Does anyone know if a new edition of Hull is on its way anytime soon?Imagine my chagrin when upon upgrading to the 6th edition, the 7th came out about three weeks later - I don't want that to happen again!

Some people keep giving these things to me and I have 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. Didn't notice any major changes 4-6 and haven't even opened 7th.

My thinking is that the 7th ed was written just as the credit crunch started to, well... crunch - so there must be a pretty big rewrite of the credit side at least (copulae etc)Not that Hull was ever particularly good on Credit derivs anyway...

Right, 7th ed has a bunch of stuff about Credit Derivatives, and a numerical integration module in deriva gem. Other than that, not much different than 6th ED.
