Had the same thought last month and compiled a (long) reading list here! https://www.searchfunder.com/post/top-books-on-buying-and-operating-businesses Hope it helps!

This link to our Substack may be even more useful, because we added reviews from other searchers and links out to where you can download/buy some of it. No affiliate links: https://kumo.substack.com/p/the-best-reading-list-for-books-on-4bd

Ultimate success lies in not only closing the deal but also operating the business effectively. on this front I recommend sources such as "Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It... and Why the Rest Don't" by Verne Harnish and the Entrepreneurial Operating System https://www.eosworldwide.com/
