Bought for Finance Class
10/21/2007
Amazon offers the cheapest rate (about $30 less than my local bookstore). Received book in roughly 3-5 days.
Complaint: Was shipped via USPS, when most packages (even SuperSaver items) are shipped via FedEx or UPS. Was not happy (Amazon did not inform me of that fact).
Clear & concise terminology and presentation.
Not really impressive book..
12/24/2007
This book provides a cursory overview of the subject - there are much better books outside.
The problems and questions at the end of the chapters go beyond the ideas covered in the chapters - it would be instructive to try them; the subject material by itself is really unimpressive.
Beware buyers of this book/students of this class
3/16/2008
This book is by far one of the worst textbooks I've ever read in my career as a student for 10 years. The content should be easy but is written in such a way that you cannot understand it. Also there are several contradictions within the text that confuse you. Lastly, I suggest to anyone that needs to buy this book for their corporate finance class to quickly switch into another section with another teacher that uses a different text or postpone taking the course to avoid using this book. I regret not doing this and do not want the rest of you guys to suffer.
