Investment banking by Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl

Is the book 'Investment Banking' by Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl a good book to read? Currently in undergrad at a semi target and I'm looking for great books to read and learn more. I'm open to more suggestions.

For interviews or otherwise? If you want a nice intro to IB in general, the Scoopbooks Investment Banking guide is very nice, second only to Rosenbaum and Pearl: https://scoopbooks.com/products/the-practitioners-guide-to-investment-b…

For interviews, the BIWS guide is my pick by far.

EDIT: Report me, didn't see the date on this post.
