I have read this book and others like it and for the money it really lacked the punch. If you are a business journalist like me you probably already have a host of books that cover this material.

Nice book for understanding corporate financial statements
I use this book to teach college journalism students how to decipher corporate financial statements and write stories based on the numbers. Jay does a good job of explaining what the numbers mean in a way anyone can understand.

I especially like his tips and suggestions, and the fact that the book is short, less than 120 pages long. He gets to the point and gets out.
