Unlike most textbooks the book by Higgins can actually be an engaging read. It doesn't get into too many technical details on any of the subject matters covered, but includes some interesting sections that I haven't found in other general (and much heavier) financial management books. For instance, I liked the appendix on the venture capital method of valuation and the explanation on how venture capitalists arrive at a required percentage ownership given multiple rounds of financing.

It was used as a background text for a case study course that I took as part of an MS in finance program and I believe most of us enjoyed it..

this is a good book for someone wanting to understand financial analysis better. to start with you will need some accounting backrgound though, but otherwise it covers the analysis basics well

Great book for my introduction to finance. This is what the professor in my MBA program used. The book is easy to read and the author has a self-deprecating sense of humor to boot.

It is one of the best books I have ever used for course reference. One of the reviewers (on the back cover) taught me the Corporate Finance course at HBS with this book as the reference text and it was a great learning experience. I also find this book as a great reference material for my CFA exam. Can't wait to get my hands on the next edition.

I ordered the book on Thurday with "express shipping", it was deliverded on Monday. However, ehen I asked about the tracking number, it took me 2-3 days to receive the seller's reply. The book was not shown the edition and I received a book printed in 2007. Fortunately, it was acceptable to my class.
