I read this book for AICPA ABV exam. I liked the detailed descriptions of various topics and the charts summarizing complex ideas. Compared to the Trugman text, I felt this book was more thoroughly edited and error free. Overall, this will be the text I refer to first on various valuation topics going forward. The associated workbook is also practical for actual valuation practice.
