The authors shuold be applauded for producing an excellent book on intermediate difficulty finance. The book covers everything a student needs to know - NPV, bond and stock valuation, risk, annuities, project analysis - you name it, its there. The topics are covered methodically, in an easy to follow fashion, often with fascinating case studies along the way which really keep you interested. The book is sometimes quite humorous which motivates you to read more. The authors really know their stuff and explain it very well. The pages are colourful (no drab black and white pages here!) and nicely laid out. There is even a quiz at the end which tests your knowledge of all financial topics covered, and some other general financial things. All in all a must have book for any finance student.
