"Options as a Strategic Investment" by Lawrence G. McMillan

Thick enough to stun an ox, but it's all in there.

This is a good book, but unless you have some background in options, this will be a difficult read. I guess for Tradergreg it would be a good fit, because he has a solid background. Definitely not a book for beginners.

What is/are the most crucial books to read for an aspiring stock options trader? I have a solid knowledge of basic options including how they work, price fluctuations compared to stock price, spreads, etc.

What book/s is a can't-miss before trading?
(Option Trader Handbook, Volatility and Pricing, etc?).

Thanks for your help.
