You can find most of your answers on the internet.

Though this covers government debt, municipal and corporate debt have similar attributes.

I don't know anything about this site, but it came up with a simple search.

There really is a "Bonds for Dummies".  Like the rest of the series, it's pretty good.

For higher level stuff - go to Amazon.com and search by Fabozzi.
