I and my friends(with no business background) are studying corporate finance by ourselves using this book and all of us are very satisfied with the book so far.

The concepts are explained very clearly(even kindly) and sample tests with complete solutions are very useful. The book also has solutions for selected end-of-the chapter problems and I enjoy mini cases which help me apply the concepts to the practice in detail.

I had tried other finance books before and most of them were not clear in explaining concepts and a bit difficult for me(my major was chemistry). I think that this book is probably the easiest and the best book to begin with for starters in finance.

This book is excelent for understanding finance from scratch. I read the spanish translation of this book. It is not a book "for dummies". It teaches each concept at a time in a clear way.

Just as described. Book was in perfect condition, fast shipping! I would definitely use seller again. Thanks.

I purchased this book like new. I expected some minimal writing but in the later chapters there was highlighting and LOTS of writing. Now I cannot sell it back for credit. The book did come on time and the outside is much like new. But now what do I do with it since I finished the class? Buyer beware and look completely through the books if you plan to sell them back.

This is a good book. Chapters are well organized, and you may even skip some chapters without having problem understanding the whole book.

I bought it from amazon place. Seller claimed the book is new, but sent me an old book. Amazon covered all the costs.

The financial concepts are explained very nicely. Though it is my first finance book i can go through it without much difficulty or extra help. However there are still some drawbacks need to be noticed:

1. Need more charts and graphics to explain the concepts, ie: when explaining the DU PONT System, i think the pyramid structure can be illustrated so as to state a whole concept, not only fragments

2. Too many examples

3. This book is too detailed in both relevant and irrelevant matters

Still, I think it is a good book.

The shipping was very fast and the transaction went smoothly but the item was in poor shape and I did not want the international edition.

Never received this item. I was taken for the cost of the item and shipping. Very diappointed

I ordered this finance book two weeks before classes started and I got it in a very timely fashion. However the book I recieved was the international version, something that may have been my mistake but there is a huge yellow sticker on the front with a disclaimer stating that it is illegal to sell or purchase this book in North America. When I tried to return the book I emailed the seller and s/he never emailed me back. Now i'm stuck with a book that can't be bought or sold because it's illegal. This experience changed my whole view on online purchasing.
