A Layman's View, 2001-03-11
I have an interest in IPO's because I have invested in a company involved in oil and gas exploration which is planning to issue one this year. ThusI read with interest "IPO's for Everyone"and was gratified to find this book useful and informative. The subject is covered thoroughly in a manner easily understandable by a layman such as myself. The topic is treated with scientific honesty and objectivity.

What a solid book on IPOs!, 2001-03-01
What a solid book on IPOs! I am an international investor trying to diversify my portfolio to include IPOs. Usually, I wait for analysts to come out with opinions on a new company. Now, after reading this book, I think I can do my own research using the prospectus and feel much more comfortable evaluating a company myself. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in doing his own research. This book is easy and fun to read, and the stories about past IPOs are really interesting.

First accessible IPO book, 2001-02-25
When the dot-com IPO phenomenon first got started I took an interest in how these companies raised money. But, I could not find a solid source to get started. There were not a lot of books on that specifically keyed in on the subject, and those that were out there were far too technical for me to understand. IPOs For Everyone is the first book that comes at IPOs from a perspective that a layman can understand. The authors do a good job peppering the book with anecdotes that illustrate what potential IPO investors should be on the look-out for. It's a highly entertaining read for novice or more seasoned investors interested in getting an insider's angle of how the IPO process works and how individuals can participate
