 Great book October 20, 2008
Great introduction to econometric methods in finance. Summaries of important papers provide a useful link between methodology and results. The language is accessible to non econometricians.
This book can be used in courses for advanced undergraduate students and is a good reference for those interested in applied econometric methods.

I would recommend this for beginners not only in econometrics, but also who do not have much knowledge in Maths or need a refresher along the way. This book is the best for introduction, the most user accessible text on this topic I know of. For example, it even explains what a trace of a matrix, so that one does not have to back and forth between books.
Introductory Econometrics for Finance by Chris Brooks May 27, 2008
I have taught this subject from undergraduate to post grad level but this is the best text I have taught...!
This is equally good for the beginners of the field and also for the persons who are searching for intutive explanations of financial models.....
Apart from above there are one or two printing errors in the book...
