1.0 out of 5 stars The editing was poor, as there are numerous errors

Bought and returned. How many chapters can we have dealing with the refactoring of a random price generator? The editing was poor, as there are numerous errors, and why on earth would you switch font sizes in code snippets? Makes it all but unreadable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good for clojure or finance
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017
Clojure and Finance should be a good match but this book does a disservice to that pairing.
Supposedly written for finance professionals, it never moves beyond random numbers, moving averages, SMA and Bolinger bands. No credit or risk modelling, Monte Carlo Simulation or portfolio aggregation; all of which clojure is great at.

It assumes little or no knowledge of clojure on the readers part. A finance professional with no clojure experience would be much better served with a general language book like The The Joy of Clojure and with some clojure experience Henry Garner's Clojure for Data Science.

We need a book with this title but this is not the right book.

Examples in the book had numerous errors, functions with unused args and not single reference to transducers which is one of the killer features that makes clojure great for finance.
