Let’s cut to the chase: Investment Valuation: Tools and Techniques for Determining the Value of any Asset (paid link) by Aswath Damodaran is a gem. This book is like a Swiss Army knife for anyone who wants to get their hands dirty with valuation. Damodaran doesn’t just throw jargon at you; he breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, digestible pieces.
