Review: Valuable insights, useful commentary, and professionally written. - Like many of us, perhaps you've owned some bonds that have fallen into junk status or worse, distress/bankruptcy. In most cases, did you throw up your arms either selling at a loss or confused by smallprint mail solicitations? Stephen Moyer is an absolute pro and de-mystifies what some may think of as a blackbox only understood by investment specialists, asset pirates, and/or bankruptcy lawyers. Conversely, if you are a professional and seeking to augment your understanding, Moyer provides insightful commentary on areas like negotiation leverage points, key area to control, legal bounds of control, pre & post-bankruptcy valuation approaches, and comparisons to real deals done recently in the marketplace. Most of his examples are from 1998-2003, and he tries to use contemporary issues to highlight arguments. Unfortunately, you will not find the most recent Bankruptcy Code reforms which commenced Oct 17, 2005. For instance, he states on page 77 that management can "...extend the [bankruptcy] exclusivity period virtually indefinitely...", which today is essentially limited to 18 months. Although a shortcoming to the book, any professional investor would have access to materials to become up-to-date on the recent reforms. Moyer's CV reads long: Stanford Law, Chicago MBA, CFA, CPA, and Drexel Lambert heritage. Obviously, he knows what he is talking about. His writing interests do seem to be lawyer-ly; for instance, he spends an inordinate amount of time explaining issues around confidentiality agreements and duties. But, I appreciated his clear and concise style and sentences. No arrogance in his style nor is he trying to sell his current firm. Excellent book. Strongly recommend despite the price.
Review: Highly Recommended - Good read; I had no familiarity whatsoever with credit investing or the restructuring process prior to reading this book other than an understanding of basic corporate finance and following the credit markets via leveragedloan.com. I've been told this book is a great primer for understanding distressed credit investing and restructuring and would agree based on my limited knowledge; I would say that it has helped me understand (at a high level) the processes involved in distressed debt along with some of the various financial, legal, and even tax-related nuances involved. I recently purchased The Art of Distressed M&A by Nesvold, so I will use this book as a comparison and will try to remember to update this review if I see fit!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Book
*by M***N on March 25, 2019*

Lets get the bad bits out of the way first, for such an expensive book the binding is terrible, it is almost impossible to open the book fully without the pages starting to come out. The cover of the book is full of spelling mistakes the back cover has words such as docades instead of decades! Now for the good bit, once you have got past the cover the book is fine, very knowledgeable and although some of the rules and regulations have been amended since it was published the book is still very very useful.
