Valuation: Mergers, Buyouts and Restructuring by Arzac vs Applied Mergers & Acquisitions by Bruner

Anyone have any experience with either of these two books who are in the banking industry. Starting as FT analyst soon and would like to read up on some fairly advanced M&A, Valuation and Accounting topics prior to the start of training. PM me if youd like.
