Entrepreneurial Finance,
It had good information, but some of the concepts weren’t thoroughly explained. The terminology used isn’t consistent with accounting terminology, so it makes it difficult to keep things straight (considering both finance and accounting cover a lot of the same ground for similar reasons). It’s definitely more appropriate for more advanced levels of finance, but not so much for a finance introduction.

|Better Finance Books Available,
I used this book for an MBA class and it was very well written but the assignments were very difficult in some chapters. In early chapters, the book gives great details on how to calculate problems. However, in some of the more difficult chapters, there aren’t enough detailed examples given in order to complete the homework assignments at the end of the chapter.
I thought the text could be better if it showed you how to use excel to set up some of these problems. It only did this in one chapter. Excel is becoming very prevalent in finance and accounting, so these new edition textbooks need to give more examples by utilizing this tool.
Overall, I think the book gives a good foundation on how to fund a new business venture. If you’re reading for pleasure, I think the book can be a good source. However, if your class uses this textbook, then you should be prepared to spend a lot of time on the assignments from the chapters that don’t show you how to set up the problems. Otherwise, you’re going to need your instructor’s assistance or the help from the folks at Google.

|Silicon Valley Finance primer,
If you are involved in a high-tech startup or you want to run the financial side of such an operation then this easy-to-read textbook makes that job much easier. It is not a regular finance textbook which is designed for firms in which intellectual property is not the prime ingredient. It is for people who need to deal with venture capitalists or screen high-tech startups for financing.
The participants on both sides of high-tech finance, those who start companies and those who would like to fund them need to know how financial projections and valuations should be done and how they should be evaluated. For those who would like to learn how Silicon Valley’s real main industry of starting companies happens this is an extremely valuable book to have.
This text still needs to have a bibliography to point readers to some of the specialized texts needed to deal with writing the business plan, intellectual property law and general legal issues. A lot of very usefull ideas are held by people who don’t know how to start companies to bring those ideas to market.
