The authors draw on their dual experience to enhance and expand the content of the book, by including the latest innovations and academic research in finance and also providing examples of actual, recent deals, some of which they have been involved in. The latest edition of the Vernimmen takes into account the changing economic environment and the impact of the 2007–2008 financial crisis on financial practice and theory.
Corporate Finance is a very useful reference book for students and for operators who will get a great help in the present complex environment to learn the principles of the financial markets and their practical application. Written in a consequential and logical approach it shows also some interesting cases that make the study easier and stimulating.

The book, newsletter, and website are all very interesting and useful. The book is 47 chapters (about 1 000 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!
