I wish I'd had this book when I started in investment banking 10 years ago!  It is the perfect primer for new professionals who may not have studied finance in school and for all professionals looking to brush up on their skills.  I am not a professor, but I can image this being an excellent book to use in an introductory business school course as well. Getting Started in Security Analysis covers all the fundamentals.  It clearly lays out the principles you must understand and enforces those learnings with real world examples.  I was not expecting the quizzes to be helpful but I found them to be an excellent tool.  The segment on equity valuation was particularly strong.  I find valuation to be tricky and sometimes confusing, especially for people new to the industry.  This book did an excellent job of breaking down the ins and outs.And finally, this book did not bore me to death!  As any reader of finance and business books knows, these books can be dry and dreary.  The authors did a great job of keeping the reader engaged and their clear writing made it easy for me to digest the information.Highly recommended!
