I read this when I moved from fixed income to equity. The authors cover a wide range of subjects with a series of classic papers. If you can get hold of this book I would recommend you do.

Equity Management goes through the basics of active portfolio management and the emergence of quantitative long-short equity investments, via a series of articles. It is an interesting read for those who wish to review/have a reference to the literature leading to this area of finance.
