Well my college textbook was pretty fucking in depth. My gf just used the current iteration for her Investments class. It's VERY dry and pretty hard material. You can pick up an old edition for next to nothing (my 3rd or whatever edition was almost identical to her 11th? edition except the historical shit which really is more fodder than anything).
I think this might be it (says 9th is current):

So save your money and get this one used:

Same info, starts at $7 :-)
Names sound familiar, my book was from the mid 90s (and is on my shelf in oklahoma or I could tell you for certain).
It covers a lot, but realistically investing isn't just about the numbers. If you want help I'll give you my opinions. I should probably write a short doc on it since I keep having to come up with the same shit for all my friends and family.
I have an earlier version of this I used this in a BComm finance degree majoring in Finance. I'm now in a Masters of Finance and my intro investments class used it, and I'm also studying for my CFA level II test, and the bodie kane book makes up part of that reading list.
It probably hits one step above high school. For example the book gets through standard deviation by showing it in it's normal formula, and doing a number proof of how it works. It doesn't go into the theory of what standard deviation is, you need a stats book for that.
There is a great book called "Investments" (very original I know) it is written by a professor called Alex Kane (I had the pleasure to meet him, great guy). We used this book at a finance class at Harvard and I learned a lot from it. I fetched a link for you: http://www.amazon.com/Investments-Zvi-Bodie/dp/007293414X
