"The understanding of Corporate Finance is a key issue to successfully manage a company. From a banker's point of view, a good understanding of Corporate Finance is crucial to assist a company.

The "Vernimmen", written for Europeans by Europeans is a most useful reference for the student as well as the practitioner. The style of the book is concise, yet every conceivable aspect of Corporate Finance is covered.

Complemented by an exhaustive website containing summaries of key concepts, of formulae, and of financial statements of a wide range of companies, the "Vernimmen" is a must."

Michael Rockinger
Professor of Finance
Director of the Institute of Banking and Finance, HEC+FAME, University of Lausanne

"This book was for sure the first Finance book I read as a student in my
twenties.

I did it again in my thirties to review some of the key Finance challenges
I was facing in my professional life and I am now, in my forties, reviewing
it another time to compare the reality I have to face now in Asia, with
the most advanced financial concepts. I have never been disappointed and
have always been able to find the appropriate answer to my questions, as
well as food for thought.

I am sure my children will read it when I will be in my fifties, as
Vernimmen is not another book on Finance : this is Finance as a life
experiment."

Jean-Michel Moutin
CFO Louis Vuitton Asia Pacific-Japan

"This book efficiently bridges financial theory and practice, and encapsulates everything a corporate finance banker will ever need to know and understand. It is obvious that the authors are passionate about finance, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Written in an easy and accessible style, this book deserves to become a reference work."

Jan Zarzycki
Director
Equity Capital Markets
Deutsche Bank

This book is unique - one of the ultimate study and reference guides for European financiers from students to CFOs.

The French-language versions of the "Vernimmen" have been for me one of the most helpful and trusted companions throughout my professional career.

Dan Arendt,
Partner at Deloitte in charge of Corporate Finance for the European media and telecom sector

I 'm glad to learn that Vernimenn unique Book on finance is now available for english-reading speakers. I have known this excellent book for many years, which all professionals can easily use when they need to go back to the basics of modern corporate finance. Smartly written, thorough, lively, regularly updated. I strongly recommend it to every one: from the beginner in Finance to high level experts. Learning with Vernimmen is a real pleasure.

Antoine Giscard d'Estaing,
CFO of Schneider Electric

"Vernimmen's Corporate Finance, long overdue in English, is an outstandingly clear and complete manual, a wonderful merger of practice and theory. Its coverage of the market aspects of corporate finance and of European practices distinguishes its content, but its treatment of all the material makes it an essential reading for the student, financier or industrialist."

Howard Jones,
Former worldwide head of equity capital markets at BNP Paribas, now a fellow in finance at the Saïd Business School, Oxford University.

"This book is particularly useful for those people who look for the bridge between strategic, operational and investment decisions, on one hand, and financial accounts, on the other hand. Authors' approach,
which consists of guiding the reader from financial accounting to most complex deals that have strategic implications for firms, is new and very useful. I would recommend this book to those who want to succeed in in-house and external consulting world as well as in the corporate finance area."

Stephan Dertnig,
Vice President and Director of the Moscow office, The Boston Consulting Group.

What a great site!

When I was gone I recieved a message from the authors of Corporate Finance by Vernimmen, Quiry, Le Fur, and Salvi.

The book, newsletter, and website are all very interesting and useful.

The book is 48 chapters (about 1000 pages) full of corporate finance. I have to agree with the authors "It is a book in which theory and practice are constantly set off against each other...."

I really like it. Especially the emphasis not so much on techniques ("which tend to shift and change over time."

VERY WELL DONE!

Moreover, the authors also put out a monthly newsletter and have a web site that could stand alone as one of the best in the business.

Check it out!
