Customer Rating:

Summary: Great resource for professionals
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Professional Genealogy
Comment: Obviously this book was designed for the professional and is written for the professional. The
amateur genealogist could be easilly snowed with all the technical jargon but once you get past
these aspects there are a few things that are of value.

Any amateur seeking help could
do better by purchasing another source.

Summary: Unless you are selling your geneology services, not recommended
Comment: 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.

Summary: If You're Serious About Your Genealogy...
Comment: 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.

Summary: Where's the book?
Comment: 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.
