Good But Nothing more
The book is quite good,but suffers from the case approach pitfalls- too much details for specific cases, and less generally applicable information. Thsi might be useful in the context of an MBA case study class, but certainly not as a useful reading book on the industry. The actual notes are very short and lack suficient details to be useful.

Large investment in time for little payback in information
If you are interested in quickly learning about how to raise a VC fund, save your time and money. This book does not offer many clues.

Get This Book!
A must for anyone wanting to know how VC firms work, structure themselves, and considerations for funding. This is an excellent case study that ought to be in a graduate program! It's as close as you'll get without working for a VC firm. I would suggest reading "The Venture Capital Cycle" first to get a general feel for VC and how it works. Then read the case study!
