hi freeus - Before buying book value, I suggest you read it cover to cover. Goodwill appears in book, for example, but doesn't fetch much at market. Other asset classes similarly but less easily identified. Read the book a good pun, but also good to do. Suggest you go through at least two annual reports and most recent quarterly to get a sense of the true "value" of a target company. You can use Yahoo to screen on book value if you want, but don't screen too narrow. John.
