Ripping good reference tome here, folks. I’ve just finished it off, and it’s

already dog-eared as hell, from me trying to mark addy after addy for no end of

neato shit. Of course, I could have just used the extensive table of contents if

I’d wanted to. It’s fine and dandy for keeping track of the amazing wealth of

stuff between the covers of this one.

Search engines and how to maximize your use of them, public records, news

resources, people finding, business and professional checking, fee-based

information retrieval services, privacy issues, legal shit, oh hell, it just

goes on and on and on.

I knew I had a good one when I opened it up and made the delightful discovery

that it utterly ignores sports and entertainment. Screw that shit, go find the

motherfucker yourself after you’ve learned the tricks of the search engine

trade. Web pages for Elvis or Michael Jordan don’t qualify as much of anything

in the real world of info mining, and are treated accordingly.

What’s here is nothing but the best for prizing information from the web, up to

and including types of info that the web is more or less dog shit useless for

acquiring. This thing’s got you covered, whether the odds are in your favor or

not.

Buy this book and the be sure to keep it on TOP of that pile of clutter next to

your computer. You’ll be glad you did.
