A moderate trading book
If you are a casual amateur investor who enjoys reading interview type of trading books, this is okay. If you aspire to be a pro and are actually a pro, you wont be satisfied with the depth and width of it. The trading styles of the interviewees, and so are the Q&As, are just so diverse that one can hardly grasp something "profitable" to his/her own trading. Of course, most of them do mention "no loss averaging, keep losses small, have discipline" blah blah blah, but do most of the trading books talk about the same stuff.
Rating: 3 out of 5
OK if you like Trading Books
The interviews in this book were interesting if you enjoy reading trading books. Even one or two usable nuggets of information for traders. However, if you are looking for a "how to book" you should look elsewhere.

Outstanding Overview of Electronic Trading
My background and experience are in the futures markets, but,like many traders enchanted by the recent extreme vacillations in the stock markets and by the new day trading phenomenon, I wanted to acquire some knowledge of electronic and stock trading. I have read numerous other introductory books on this topic, none of which I will relate here because they are largely inanely simplistic, but, suffice it to say that one need only purchase this book to obtain the requisite education on electronic trading. Dr. Baird is knowledgable, insightful, open and, most importantly, keenly aware of his subject and the subjects he interviews- all of whom offer diverse and interesting insights into the world of electronic trading. While this book will not teach you how to trade exactly- any trader must learn through experience what methods will fit them- it will provide a valuable and eclectic overview of electronic trading and some of the perils and opportunities that await one there. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for any trader looking for an intellectual avenue into electronic trading or to enhance and augment their existing understanding of markets.
