Summary: Helpful but outdated
Comment: In general this is a helpful book for those new to the industry. However, I found it alarming that there has been no revision to this book since the internet bubble, 9/11, the corporate financing scandals of the early 00's, and the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley. I'm curious about whether Bruce Marcus's newer book might be a better reference.

Summary: Laborious. Master of the Obvious. Good for Newbies.
Comment: If you're new to the field...then this is for you. But if you're experienced in IR -- as a practicioner or an executive, you'll find nothing new here.
For example, pages on end on why IR is marketing. There's one page on the all-important roadshow presentation; it reads "The organization of the presentation is extremely important." Well, Duh...
Laborious reading, but if you're a newbie and don't want to embarass yourself, lock yourself in a room with this for the weekend.

Summary: A good read, but not a good reference guide
Comment: I was looking for a great reference book that would quickly answer my questions. Unfortunately, this book must be read thoroughly (or at least a chapter at a time). The index could have been much, much more detailed. As it stands, the index is an afterthought, and a very bad one at that. With a better index, this could be a reference book. As it stands, it's still worth the read. I'll still be looking for a better reference guide, though.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK
Comment: THIS IS THE BIBLE FOR INVESTOR RELATIONS MANAGERS. YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OF YOUR FIRM VALUE TO PUBLIC. IT IS THE A-Z GUIDE FOR ALL OF US.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An Excellent Beginner's Guide to IR
Comment: A very thorough review of the growing Investor Relations profession. Identifies modern techniques, strategies, resources, and basic SEC disclosure rules used in everything from the pre-IPO to the annual meeting. A great primer for anyone considering a career in Investor Relations.
