I am a non-finance major and this book helped me get through the class very well. Not only does the author explain the material in common language, but it is an easy reader. My favorite part of the book is the CD that comes with it. It has a lot of interactive ways to learn the material, from quizzes to narrative Power Points.

I purchased this book for a class where it was required, but saved $ by purchasing through amazon. I paid about $120 and see that the price has gone up in the last 2 months. This book seems long but is filled with examples of calculations and process. I found that reading the book gave me a clearer and more thorough explanation than even my teacher could give. I have learned a lot and would highly recommend this book to anyone trying to learn finance.

Book was sent within 48 hours. Came just as advertised. Would buy from seller again.

Seller provided accurate description of product at a good pric. Shipment was fast so receiving the item was sooner than anticipated. Overall a great seller to work with. Would buy from seller again.

I cannot give you a review both items were returned do to a mishap on my professor's end. The item was returned about three weeks ago and I have not received a return as of to date.. Truthfully, I'm unhappy with your service and will tell other individuals not to purchase items from your company :( Still awaiting refund.

I really enjoyed using this text book. It is clearly written and the student CD really helped me learn the material.

This text book has been by far the worst text book for any class I have taken in my 4 years of college. The text is laid out in such a fashion that learning in nearly impossible. Normally I would enjoy a class like this, because I enjoy solving problems that are used in real life situations. I have not found this book to help me learn The Fundamentals of Corporate Finance at all.
For everyone who has to use this book for a class I hope that your professor is able to explain what you are supposed to be learning because this book will not help at all.

A good solid book for those seeking a finance background,

My name is Jameson Thottam and as an individual steeped heavily in finance (graduated from UC Berkeley and attending Wharton's MBA and focused on financial services such as such as The Loan Page, IndyMac Bank, Homestore), I would give a strong recommendation on this book to those in finance. There are other books however, that provide more details on mathematical financial programing and simulation software (i.e., Linear programming, Monte Carlo Simulations, CRYSTAL BALL / SEC II / @RISK software packages). Additionally, if you like market insider trading (i.e., technical analysis)...you can do much better. Other than that, the book is a good book.

Hope you enjoy,
