Where's the book?

I ordered this book as a gift for a relative 6 weeks ago. After 2 delays the estimated ship date was still 4 weeks away. I contacted the pubilsher direct and they shipped the book the next day. Just an FYI.

Great resource for professionals

The book is excellent if you are researching how to structure your own business because it offers tips on billing, writing reports, etc. However, most of the book is not useful if you want to use it for non-professional reasons.

Unless you are selling your geneology services, not recommended

I got this book for my dad who is really into geneology. He does small seminars at the Public Library and such. I thought for his birthday I would get him a geneology book so he could learn a little more. The reviews for this book said that is was for professional geneologists and teachers or die-hard people who are interested in it. So I thought he fit the category. He told me that is focused more on how to charge for your services than anything, more legal garb than insider professional hints to geneology. So we are returning the book.

If You're Serious About Your Genealogy...

This book was a splurge for me, but one that I can definitely say was well worth it! I thought I knew quite a bit about genealogy research, but this book has taught me so much more. Each chapter is written by a professional genealogist who specializes in the topic. While some chapters are geared towards genealogists starting their own research business, most are helpful to all genealogists. Lots of excellent examples of proper research methods and techniques.
