This together with Brealey & Myers is one of the classic works on finance for practitioners. My plan was to buy it on Kindle so that I could more easily always have it with me as I travelled. The Kindle edition is good, and the illustrations are clear and sharp in the Kindle edition, unlike those in many Kindle books. However, a great drawback in a textbook or reference book is that there is no usable index. Sure, the words of the index have been replicated in the Kindle edition, but to no purpose: there is no way of getting from an entry in the index “e.g. “Risk”) to the section of the book to which it refers. For various reasons Kindle books have no page numbers, but it is perfectly possible for the entries in the index of this book (and indeed all Kindle books) to either hyperlink to their subject matter or for a location number to be given instead. Given the very high price of this book, it is disappointing that the publishers chose not to spend a few hundred dollars to get a freelancer to put hyperlinks into the text. My suggestion for anyone who wants to use this book for reference or for studies is to wait until the publisher applies a proper, usable, index to the book, and in the meantime buy a second hand copy of the paper edition.

Very informative textbook. Explanations of detailed financial theory and calculations have been very clear and thorough. The authors used fundamentals to help clarify more complicated concepts. Great tool for class!
