1) Book Description
Continuing the four goals from the first edition, i.e. helping students to make good financial decisions, providing a solid text for the introductory MBA course, motivating students by demonstrating finance is relevant and interesting, and presenting the material clearly, this Tenth Edition promises to be the best yet. Written by a highly-acclaimed, best selling, author team, this text remains the only MBA-level text to present a balance of financial theory and applications.

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5

1) Definitely not for self study   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
The exercises could be improved upon. The book needs a good teacher/instructor in order to "come alive" - not a book for self-study. But then again, which Finance book is?

2) Since New Edition is available - not used much now   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
although I got one in good shape. Did not get the CD i was promised.

3) Find another finance book   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This book is a nightmare; thoroughly confusing. Authors do not know how to teach! Brigham & Company will take 30 pages to explain a concept that can be done in 2 pages. I used this book for my finance class for my MBA; this one is not worth the money or your time.

4) Excellent Textbook. Retain After Graduation as Reference   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
As an MBA student, I have now had the opportunity to study different finance books. This is undoubtedly the best. The CD rom resources are excellent. I will certainly retain this book for refence after graduation.

5) Excellent!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This is no corporate finance for dummies book. So, don't expect to have "fun" with it. However, on a graduate level the book is near perfect. I especially appreciate its treatment of case studies - carrying the same case study from chapter to chapter where appropriate. There is a CDROM that contains, among other things, very useful and practical Excel templates for each chapter. The authors also provide foot notes that I encourage you to read. Many of them give the author's opinion of how the subject works in the real world verses the academic world. If you are the type that learns best by knowing the big picture first, make sure you get the Study Guide too.My only beef with this text is in the index, which is woefully lacking -- rendering it less useful as a research source.
