This book is bundled with useful information. If you plan on investing during the initial offering (if you somehow get the chance) or any short period thereafter, this book will definitely help evaluate the vast choices out there.
The book is rather lengthy and includes information which may not be useful as it covers a large scope. However, it does focus primarily on IPOs during the late 1990's which I can consider a biased view of IPOs. On the other side, this could also be construed as a reflection of our current day IPOs which is similar to the Tech bubble of the 2000's.
