5.0 out of 5 stars M&A Masterpiece!, December 24, 2003
By Andre Peschong (Newport Beach) - See all my reviews
Tom really gets to the practical issues of M&A in his book. This book is so well written that both professional practitioners of M&A and people who are new to the industry will pull very useful information from its' pages. I am in the industry and have found this to be the most useful source book of information on the subject of M&A. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the business or wants a concise practical insight into the world of M&A!.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Acquisition !, January 21, 2004
By Dennis Stanek (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a terrific read for any business person who has been, will be, or wants to be in Mergers and Acquisitions. Tom Taulli does a great job educating and advising the reader. This is a must have book for investment bankers, business brokers and dealmakers, but especially for executives of companies who are considering selling or acquiring other businesses.

5.0 out of 5 stars M & A for Dummies (and Experts, too), December 31, 2003
By "capitaltransactions" (Boulder Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Tom Taulli is the expert that has taken a complex, multi-layered technical subject and put it in a form that all M&A participants can easily read, easily understand and easily put to immediate and extensive use. I am an educated, experienced Venture Capitalist and M&A intermediary professional that has learned lots of new techniques and tips from Tom, while having a thoroughly enjoyable time reading about a subject that is not new to me. I'm sending all my clients and business associates a copy of Tom's book, as it will enhance their knowledge about how to do business in M&A and encourage a higher degree of professionalism, effectiveness and efficiency in an otherwise complex and confusing process. Tom makes understanding M&A easy, or at least much less mysterious. Book is a great reference source for those that have questions about the process while engaged in M&A, regardless of their role in the process. BUY IT! You will use it for years.
