Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, and Jaffe is a popular textbook that emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance, while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The well-respected author team is known for their clear, accessible presentation of material that makes this text an excellent teaching tool. Brad Jordan, known for his successful work on the RWJ Fundamentals and Essentials books, contributed to this edition. His influence will be seen particularly in the writing style with smoother coverage of topics, and the increased quality in the problem material.

I'm only 3 chapters deep but can already tell this will be one of those 'poor explanation' books we've all had in college. It definately helps to have some accounting knowledge before reading this text. Overall, the examples are poor, and.... just thinking about how it was written makes me want to fall asleep!

The book I received was not in the condition I was expecting. When the book arrived the edges were very torn and it was obvious that it was very much used. The book should have been listed as used with obvious signs of tear. I contacted the seller immediately and express my view. This is the very first time I have gotten a book from Amazon and not as promised. The seller was not very polite in some of her emails to me which also did not help me accept the torn book and had to return it.

This book is by far one of the worst textbooks I've ever read in my career as a student for 10 years. The content should be easy but is written in such a way that you cannot understand it. Also there are several contradictions within the text that confuse you. Lastly, I suggest to anyone that needs to buy this book for their corporate finance class to quickly switch into another section with another teacher that uses a different text or postpone taking the course to avoid using this book. I regret not doing this and do not want the rest of you guys to suffer.

This book provides a cursory overview of the subject - there are much better books outside.
The problems and questions at the end of the chapters go beyond the ideas covered in the chapters - it would be instructive to try them; the subject material by itself is really unimpressive.

Amazon offers the cheapest rate (about $30 less than my local bookstore). Received book in roughly 3-5 days.
Complaint: Was shipped via USPS, when most packages (even SuperSaver items) are shipped via FedEx or UPS. Was not happy (Amazon did not inform me of that fact).
Clear & concise terminology and presentation.
