The Stock Options Book, 12th 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 12th edition has been fully updated throughout as of late 2010 and covers the latest developments in equity compensation, including the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 6039 reporting.
