Hello fellow primates, there are many valuable recommendations on which books to read prior to an IBD-internship. However, I haven't seen any posts or lists of books to read prior to an MBB summer gig. I'm primarily asking for recommended readings after passing your case-interviews and getting the offer. So books for people who have read their Case in Point's and Ace the Case's already. I was lucky to land an offer early so i've got plenty of time to read during my studies prior to my internship next summer. Thanks in advance!

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
I've seen the the following two books mentioned. McDonald's book "The Firm" and McKenna's "The Worlds Newest Profession"
Thank you. I’m going to look into both.
The Firm is pretty shit and useless. There was a thread on this a while ago with some good tips. How to win friends and influence people is a pretty good one.
