Title: The Art of M&A: A Merger Acquisition Buyout Guide by Stanley Foster Reed, Alexandra Reed Lajoux ISBN: 0-07-052660-5 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Trade Pub. Date: 31 December, 1998 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $125.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 (10 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Reference Book
Comment: This is a fantastic reference tome for anyone involved with M&A. As a private equity Associate, I have found this book to be invaluable on multiple levels as both a reference guide for securities law, as well as for procedural issues such as sample formats for term sheets, DD check lists, etc.
Also, while it is a dense read, I think this would be invaluable for people just entering either Investment Banking or Private Equity to read as an introduction to the rules, regulations and procedures surrounding mergers/acquisitions.

Summary: Yes, this is a very focused topic, but it is a great book!
Comment: The very size of this book on such a specialized topic may seem daunting. However, the writing is so lively and the organization by question and answer is so easy to use that you will find this a very useful and comprehensive handbook.
It is NOT a theory laden textbook. Rather, it is a very useful and practical guide to the field and will help the careful reader avoid many pitfalls. There are many ways to make mistakes in buying companies and this book can open your eyes to quite of few of them. In fact, if you are the target of a buyout, this book can be of special importance and interest.
I admit to being fascinated by this topic so take that into consideration when evaluating what I say about this book. But even so, mergers and acquistions are so much in the news (for good and ill) that it can only help to get more background on what is really going on and how these deals are (or at least should be) put together.
The book reads MUCH shorter than its size and is fairly comprehensive on the subject - from the methods in selecting candidates for acquisition to what to do when you are a target of an acquisition to some very specialized topics. It also deals with M&A issues with both public, private, and even family firms.
Honestly, I am surprised at how glad I am that I bought this book. It is terrific.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly Practical
Comment: I have been an M&A practitioner for twenty years and rarely have I found a book that is as readable and useable as this one. The author is able to synthesize difficult concepts and communicate them in a highly user friendly way.
