I know Rosenbaum's is highly recommended. But what else is out there in terms of textbooks that tackle industry technicals?
Not looking for popular non-fiction such as Barbarians at the Gate, Liar's Poker, etc.

McKinsey Valuation is quite popular. I know that Damodaran’s books are highly regarded but haven’t read them myself. There’s a good book list on multipleexpansion.com
Corporate Finance by Berk is solid, but a long read (1000 pages). If you are into PE, I liked private equity laid bare. If you are into rx read Moyer’s distressed debt analysis.
+1 for Moyer's DD book. Reading it right now and its so good.
Only thing is that it was prior to a lot of recent developments like more lax covenants/etc. Still a great foundation builder I think
Do you have a copy of private equity laid bare? I tried to get it on libgen and it's not available.
There should be a pdf on edu.glogster. Though make sure to scan it properly because you never know downloading stuff from the internet. Or there is an Audio book if you have any audible credits.
I think I would kill myself listening to a finance textbook on audio
