must have it
One of the very few econometric books that are possible to read for non-mathematicians. Recommend to everyone interested in econometrics.

Nice balance between proofs and intuition.
The strength of this book lies in the nice balance between mathematics and intuition. Although Wooldridge is easier to understand and better in the intuition department, he doesn't prepare you as well as Verbeek for what is yet to come: books like Econometric Analysis by Greene or Econometric Society Monographs. Verbeek uses much of the language found in scientific articles and more advanced works, without making the explanations unneccesary difficult. If your goal is, however, not to go much deeper than introductory econometrics, then do yourself a favour and buy Introductory Econometrics by Wooldridge.

Econometrics Explained
I'm an econ grad student - and I'm always looking for books that give me insight on econometrics. This book does precisely that! Verbeek writes econometrics like others write novels, he develops the models clearly and logically. This book should be used in graduate and undergraduate programs everywhere. It's also good for the practicing economist who wants to brush up on econometrics. It's hard to find a text that offers this much intuition and still gives a good solid mathematical treatment of the subject. I've also used the standard "kennedy" book (too simplified), the Greene's textbook - technically thorough but doesn't do much for intuitive understanding - Verbeek's book is much more readable and useful in my opinion.
