The Bible! October 25, 2009

If you are interested on valuating get it. If you are a experience on valuation it's a good reference book.
One of my most valuable books August 7, 2009
Ruben Holguin Martinez (Mexico, DF Mexico)
I'm not an expert on valuation, so I bought this book to help me in some projects i had as individual investor and for my school assignments and has been a great and useful tool. This book covers the valuation techniques for any kind of assets and in a very comprehensive way. Either in professional or educational matters you will find this book widely useful. Warning: Although is not rocket science some mathematical skills are required to fully understand and take advantage of its content.
 Very Informative - Not the easiest read August 27, 2007

This book gives a good description of the theory behind different valuation techniques. It is very detailed and very helpful. The only downside is that it is hard to get through at times.
Comprehensive View of Investment Valuation June 23, 2007

An overall excellnet text on valuing any asset. The author does a wonderful job of highighting the only 3 rational ways to value any asset: discounted cash flows, relative valuation, and the options pricing model. This book may help you consider the value of assets using all 3 methods to arrive at a true valuation for your purchase or divestment.
A must have for anyone who values assests.
A great reference for any finance student May 13, 2007

Like other reviewers have said, this book should not be used as an undergraduate textbook. But as a reference book it is among the best for reviewing valuation principals. It covers many asset classes, including equities, bonds, options, futures, and real estate. This book also does a good job of breaking down principals used for valuing various firms (private, start-ups, takeover targets).
The real value for me, however, was its explanations of various DCF models and how they are used: adjusted present value, equity valuation, and firm valuation. The material does a good job of getting to the reason behind the numbers and not just how to use them (such as its explanations on how to determine a terminal value).
In summary, a great read for an undergrad or graduate finance student who wants to get familiar with valuation techniques, or even for an analyst who needs to brush up.
