My rating is based on two criteria: (1) The authors can’t write readable prose. They do not even know how to constuct a coherent paragraph, let alone build a coherent full-bodied narrative. Mostly academic jargon. (2) The authors say that you can view commercial real estate from many perspectives, but they emphasize financial economics. Unfortunately, anyone who restricts their view to fin econ cannot make sensible decisions.This perspective renders the book useless. It’s clear the authors have no practical knowledge of commercial real estate — or if they do they’re keeping it a secret. Written primarily to impress their buddies in university econ and finance departments.

Just everything okay, considering it had to be shipped from the US to the UK, arrived even earlier than some of the books I ordered same time from UK suppliers.
Small unsubstantial damage on cover of book though, probably caused by transport.

This book is unusable on its own. As a textbook in an advanced real estate course, with an inspired professor, this book would probably rate five stars. As a book from which a reader can extract useable information, this book is one star at best. For example, Internal Rate of Return can’t be found in the index. By leafing through the book, you can find a brief explanation of the concept, which is far too complex and incomplete for an intelligent reader to use. I am a real estate developer with 30 years experience. I have bookshelves full of real estate books. This one goes to the bottom of the pile. Save your money.

This may be the worst book on real estate or mortgage markets that I have ever seen. The authors seem to be saying “Look how smart we are!” I have an MBA from University of Chicago and much of the book is a bad rephrasing of inroductory corporate finance. My book for the real estate class at University of Chicago was by Bruggman (?) and Fisher; although that book will not win any awards, it is vastly superior. This book could easily lose 1/2 of its contents. Don’t waste your money.

This book was all that I expected. It is an excellant source book for commercial real estate analysis.
An added benefit is that it weighs a ton and therefore provides a good weight training workout.
