Summary: Excellent book for very beginners
Review: I and my friends(with no business background) are studying corporate finance by ourselves using this book and all of us are very satisfied with the book so far. The concepts are explained very clearly(even kindly) and sample tests with complete solutions are very useful. The book also has solutions for selected end-of-the chapter problems and I enjoy mini cases which help me apply the concepts to the practice in detail. I had tried other finance books before and most of them were not clear in explaining concepts and a bit difficult for me(my major was chemistry). I think that this book is probably the easiest and the best book to begin with for starters in finance.

Summary: I own Principles of Corporate Finance (5th ed.)
Review: If possible, please tell me the difference between this book (Fundamentals of Corporate Finance by Richard Brealey) and Principles of Corporate Finance by Brealey and Myers. I currently own the 5th edition of Principles; having worn the book down with constant thumbing, I am looking for a replacement. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Summary: A little too detailed for beginners
Review: The financial concepts are explained very nicely. Though it is my first finance book i can go through it without much difficulty or extra help. However there are still some drawbacks need to be noticed: 1. Need more charts and graphics to explain the concepts, ie: when explaining the DU PONT System, i think the pyramid structure can be illustrated so as to state a whole concept, not only fragments 2. Too many examples 3. This book is too detailed in both relevant and irrelevant matters Still, I think it is a good book.
