 Best Introduction I Have Ever Seen June 30, 2009

If you want a job on Wall Street as a financial analyst, this is your first book. After working through this book, you can move on to more advanced texts. You will have a great basic foundation.

I like this book because it addresses the reader directly. It is extremely useful if corporate finance is not new to you . I had already read "Fundamentals of Corporate Finance" by the same authors which is more for the beginning finance student and that helped a lot with this book.
An excellent book July 7, 2009

I was a doctorate student in a public administration program years ago, taking corporate finance as an elective. This was perhaps the best textbook I read in that whole Ph.D. program. The authors really make the difficult topics easy to understand, with plentiful examples and cases. I am teaching a public finance course in a university now, finding myself using this book as reference often.

I purchased the text for my grad school corp. finance course and I rate it 5 star. The text use's applicable recent examples in a very comprehensive format and language. I recommend the text as a key corp finance reference.

Pros:
1. Fun to read (read the footnotes - the authors have a great sense of humor)
2. Explains concepts extremely well
3. Great examples, index, and chapter quizzes
Cons:
1. No solutions manual (there are quiz solutions, just no solutions to supplemental material)
2. Part V, Chapter 17 uses uncommon terminology - unless you take the second semester Finance class don't worry about it. Your prof will address this...
Finance can be a difficult subject for some, and this book simply makes finance easier. The authors have a great sense of humor and their footnotes are either (1) funny, or (2) incredibly interesting. In any highly quantitative course you're going to have to read a short-ish chapter that takes a long time to complete - this book makes that "long time" enjoyable. This is my favorite college/university level book & when I talk to others who've read this I hear the similar praise..
