Financial Valuation, + Website: Applications and Models (Wiley Finance)

This is the best business Valuation book available. As a 15 year practitioner, this is my go to book. Highly recommended.

Great book

I'm working on my third degree, and as a teacher myself, this is one of the most poorly written instructional books that I've read. The content is excellent, but if you don't already have a background as a financial analyst, then it should not be used as a course textbook. Essentially, it is a compilation of research studies, including little used models and theories, and it consistently directs you to other sources for additional information. For those that are involved in financial valuation on a regular basis it could be an excellent resource. However, the book itself says that it provides explanations and focuses on practical applications of the models/theories. This is not the case, hence the 1 star rating. It's an excellent resource, but a terrible teacher.

This is indeed a book for valuation professionals, perhaps the best of its kind. It is comprehensive and well written, yet approachable for a valuation professional, CFO or financial analyst. It is for people who already have a background in finance, not a textbook for beginners, and was never intended to be the latter. No valuation professional should be without this book.

GoodNot for beginners

it says rental but i have paid for it.it has sticker on top.it would be nice to have a book without thissticker issue and also the EBOOK version of it.

This is a big book. Great content. But, I've only had it for a few months and the binding is coming apart. So, soon it will be useless, and Amazon won't take the return now. Go for the Kindle version

They only allow a two month rental for the summer semester but 5 months for the fall and spring semesters?! I had to extend my rental to have it for two more weeks to finish out the summer semester. This should be stated more clearly. Very unhappy. All rentals should be 4 months long for the three semesters in a year.
