Anyone who has taken this course in law school will know that there are only a couple of casebooks, and about as many supplements or study aids. I only read the last one hundred pages, because it corresponded to some of the material in Bratton's text (the earlier portion being very rudimentary - which is a good thing if this is your first brush with the subject, i.e. it covers things like the differences between a corporation and an LLC). * The portion I did read covers in a clear, simple, thorough way the basics of corporate finance - how corporations are valued, how they obtain financing, etc. It goes over the mathematics (future / present value of money, the calculations involved in deciding whether an investment has a net positive value, and so on) in a very intuitive way as well, with lots of examples. (* One of the authors of this book, William A. Klein, is also the author of the excellent casebook "Business Associations, Cases and Materials on Agency, Partnerships, and Corporations," which is a popular casebook used for the basic law school introductory class on business. This book covers some of the material that you would find in that class, as well as material in the more advanced - and specialized - Corporate Finance class.) Review: Outstanding book - I have studied finance for awhile. This is the easiest-to-understand book that is out there about the topic. If you want to understand basic Corporation Finance, but are not really a numbers person, this is the book for you.
