Books to learn about ECM/Books about ECM (IPOs)

What are the best books to learn about Equity Capital Markets? I am currently reading Straight to hell by John LeFevre, and also previously read Liars Poker by Michael Lewis - both of these are about DCM/Bonds trading/Credit Sales etc. I am looking for something similar from ECM space. Otherwise, would also be happy to read some more technical book on ECM, IPOs, right issues etc.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
