Summary: Disappointed
Comment: The condition of the book was not as it was written. The cover was nearly falling off, makes it difficult to keep the book togeter. The binding was disintegrating as well
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hard, Unnecessarily Frustrating, and Brutal, But Worth the Investment
Comment: This book is laden with very stupid errors, confusing in times of need, and gives rather poor examples that serve not illuminate the subject well at all. To be fair to the authors, I encountered my copy of this book during an intensive pre-MBA summer program, so I may not have been allocated the normal amount of time generally allowed for study. Still, that doesn't make-up up for blatant mathematical errors I've found on some otherwise simple problems. (Heck, there are even errors in some of the included examples!)
That said, you can still learn a bit from it. It is not entirely useless. Or, to better state it in financial terminology, "Capital expenditure in this piece of equipment has the potential to add significantly to your net present value of future capital inflows and increase net earnings." In other words, master this stuff and get seriously paid.
I wish I could find a better Finance book or reference out there, but I have yet been able to. I guess this is one of these subjects that people just cannot teach well because of the obscurity of the subject matter. Maybe Cerebellum Productions (the makers of the "Standard Deviants" tutorial videos) will catch onto this and come out with something genius. If they do, I can guarantee you that they'll be raking in the cash.

Summary: Untitled
Comment: This book was one of the worse books we had in our MBA program in University of Toronto. It is very confusing and vague. Some chapters are very short and don't cover a subject completely and like typical MBA books there is no answer to end of chapter questions. So you have to be a MBA student and rely on you professor for the answers to the end of chapter questions. There are much better books in the market for learning finance. For the whole course I had to study from other books to learn a subject.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't buy this unless you have to
Comment: This book was very hard to follow and does not spell things out very effectively. I had to get this book for class and I hated it. I felt like I couldn't find anything when I wanted it.
