Best valuation books for ER?

I've already taken a few finance and accounting classes, so I know the basics. Hoping to go a bit deeper. I know these four books are talked about a lot on the IBD forum. Can anyone vouch for their usefulness in ER:
- Investment Valuation by Damodaran
- Damodaran on Valuation by Damodaran
- Valuation by Mckinsey
- Investment Banking by Rosenbaum & Pearl

Other recs are welcome too.

the best practices for equity research analysts book by valentine, thats what my peers have vowed by

rosenbaum for basics/fundamental and how IB analysts look at valuation

damodaran is very technical and too theoretical imo

mckinsey is good, not as technical as damodaran, great book to help how you look at coompanies and determine what drives value

if i had to choose id go valuation mckinsey.. maybe rosenbaum first if you want to brush up on fundamentals
