If you had the budget for only 1 hard copy to keep at the desk would you grab Rosenbaum & Pearl's book or McKinsey text Valuation

I have both and I am a fan of both, but for different reasons. Pearl & Rosenbaum lay out a nice conceptual framework and talk you through some of the basic tools. Good for beginners and basic references. McKinsey is a much more dense book and dives deeper into financial analysis and related tools. My only real issue to pick w/ McKinsey are the 'twists' or 'improvements' they make to traditional formulas b/c its the McKinsey way. That and they use terminology that's slightly different such as NOPLAT vs. EBIAT, just a preference thing.
Why don't you keep Pearl & Rosenbaum on your desk and McKinsey on a jump drive or stored on your computer, McKinsey is a much larger book obv. I have a digital copy of it, if you want it.
Bepbep12 if you could send me a copy as well that would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
Thanks for the offer. I have both on the computer, just was thinking of investing in the hard copy of one. I seem to favor Rosenbaum
BepBep12 summed it up well.
If you're looking for something more advanced/detailed than the Rosenbaum book, I'd also take a look at the Scoopsbooks "Practitioner's Guide to Investment Banking" - http://www.scoopbooks.com/ourbooks_2.php
Provides a deeper dive into the M&A concepts and is very well laid out...basically Rosenbaum 2.0. Although the basic valuation sections are better in Rosenbaum, the scoopbooks also covers merger modeling. I personally found the section on M&A taxes to be very helpful over the course of my analyst stint.
Ill have to look around for a digital copy of that text. Thanks for the tip
Bepbep12, would you mind sending me a copy of Mckinsey text?
Bepbep12 would you mind sending me a copy as well? Would really appreciate it!
