For those of you who have preordered or will order the new sixth edition of Valuing a Business, supply-chain shortages have caused a delay. The original ship date of March 22 has been revised to a projected date of mid-to-late April.

The book, first written by Shannon Pratt in 1981, is being published with underwriting sponsored by the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) Educational Foundation. Pratt passed away, but the ASA assembled a group of contributors to bring the book up-to-date and maintain Pratt’s legacy for the valuation profession.

Extra: A perfect companion to the ASA/Pratt book is Gary Trugman’s Understanding Business Valuation, 6th edition (published by BVR), which has not suffered any supply-chain issues and has been shipping right on schedule.
