  1. Richard M. Joachim says:

    I bought and read this book on my Kindel and purchased the hard copy for my reference shelf.

  2. N. Karlsen says:

    This book is OK. It is funny and well written. The advices that are given are suited for practical life. It is well worth buying.

  3. Thomas C. Seale says:

    This book is extremely well written for the lay person. It’s as though a cowboy wrote it, which is fun for a book that is imparting information. And there is quite a wealth of information to be had in this book. More importantly, I like the angle the book takes. It’s not only for those looking into private investigation as a career or some kind of reference, but also for the do-it-yourselfers of the world that will need some kind of guide. It’s practical and quite humorous at times, which is very refreshing.

    If I had one gripe about the book, it’s that it tends to speak in generalities a bit too much for my taste from time to time. While making sure you’re not spotted by the subject is good advice, it really isn’t imparting information that helps you genuinely in any way without very deep specifics on how to accomplish this goal, and every now and then in the book, Chambers has a tendency to do that. But still, it’s a great book for those looking into the basics of PI work.

    I’d, of course, recommend Private Investigation For Dummies, which is surprisingly the most detailed non-pro book on PI work on the market (and maybe even the pro one’s too).

    This book wins hands down between ‘The Idiot’s Guide to Private Investigation’. ‘The Idiot’s Guide…’ leaves a lot of unanswered questions. ‘The Private Investigator Handbook’ goes into a lot more depth answering these questions suggesting the reader what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. This book is a must!

  5. T. Gallion says:

    The book was even better than I expected. It has very good, useful information. Each topic is thoroughly and clearly touched upon. Very little of the information would be outdated today (01/2008). This is the best book I’ve ever seen for people either cheating on a lover or wishing to catch a cheating lover. There’s great information on protecting your identity and also on finding out information about others. There’s also info on useful equipment that you might want to buy. This book was well worthing the money.
