Financial Modeling and Valuation by Paul Pignataro

There was a thread on this topic (see link below), started by one of our WSO members 2 years back. Has anyone read the book? What's you take?

I haven't, but I've looked at several other books on financial modeling. Go to Thriftbooks.com, and you can find some dirt cheap books. I bought about 4 books on financial modeling - unfortunately, all were shit quality (e.g., they force balance the balance sheet with a plug or they name and hide cells so that they're hard to audit, etc...unbelievable that these are rated decently).
