The Stock Options Book, 9th ed.

This is the definitive guide for anyone involved with designing, implementing, or administering an employee stock option plan. Written by attorney Alisa Baker, a leading equity compensation expert, it presents a straightforward, comprehensive overview of both the big-picture issues and the technical details related to designing and implementing stock option plans. The book also looks at "hot" issues and provides illustrative exhibits, a glossary, a bibliography, and primary source materials, plus a seminal article by Corey Rosen on plan design. The ninth edition covers the latest developments in the equity compensation field, including a chapter devoted entirely to the stock options backdating scandal.
