M&A Competition: Where to Start?

Hello monkeys,

A group of friends and I are joining an M&A case competition. What are your go-to books/resources/websites?

I already bought Rosenbaum and Pearl's "Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions" which seemed like a good start.

Thanks in advance!
