This is a well written book and is a must read for anyone seeking information.

I bought this as a gift for a loved one and they loved it. They work as a private investigator in New York and said they will get a lot of use out of the book.

Almost an overwhelming amount of information, It would have been a good idea to have put the info into sections of different types of info or at least have an index. Ther than that it is a very informative book, you just have to really hunt for the info you are really after.

This book provides time saving reference. The book is set up so anyone can be more efficient with searching. In the back of the book you have the option of checking out the author's site. It has free search tools. In my last job I ran a professional repo. office. This guide was a good tool in finding those little bits of information that you can miss sometimes by using the professional searches. Just a tip, think out of the box when "skipping" someone. You need to be patient but also know when to put it down and pick it up later.

This is a book of phone numbers.

But it's a book of really useful phone numbers and other information if you are trying to investigate someone or something.

Did you know that if you have some money that got torn up or burned you can get it redeemed by the US Treasury?

Need to know who to contact for court records in any state? Want to know how to decipher a automobile's VIN number? Need the telephone number for the FBI Crime Lab?

All this and more is in this great little book. Well worth adding to your library.

For anyone in the business, or not, this is one of the best resource books ever. Jam packed with information that only a PI could love. This book has been a great help to me already, and I am only starting out in the business.

The information provided inside this reference book is ok; however many of the phone numbers and web site links are outdated. I noticed some info was provided with a notation at the bottom that "As of such and such date, this is no longer available" Why even print that info in the first place, if not to just fill in useless space. As a PI, your better off getting usufull info on a PI site. Just my $.02 worth.
