The book is OK but not super. After reading the book you have to remember the hints which may not be easy since there are so many.

Good Ideas In Bad Times by M. Garland (Columbia, PA USA)  4 Stars
May 29, 2008
Granted nothing much is new in this book and you could find the same thing in dribs & drabs around the Internet or at your old granny's knee. The great thing here is that it's all in one book and sorted out for you.
I do think the price is a bit steep. And I think Jerry Baker could serve his readers a lot better by putting out spiral bound books. Much easier to manage.

Buy it used. Its not worth full price by Russell L. Fortner  2 Stars
January 12, 2008
I bought my copy at a discounted price. I am not impressed with it at all. A lot of old tips (over 10 years) and repeats the same tips in different sections.
Be cheap & save your money on this one.
