Good book, but not for beginners, May 29 2004

If you're looking for books on "how to" play bass or read music then skip this one. There's almost no instruction in this book, but what you do get is GREAT tab and notation for some standard jazz pieces.

Excellent Tool for Any Researcher of Library Patron, Jan 8 2004

Outstanding work with clear illustrations and examples of how to improve your library research. I learned more about library research in this book than in all my years pursuing a doctorate degree.

A MUST have for anyone who spends time in the library. You do not have to be a professional researcher or academician to get useful tools from this book. My kids have read the book as well, and their research projects for school improved dramatically.

I strongly recommend this book is you plan any research projects in the future.

This is a good book for those who have less than five years experience on a police department. Most of the material is explained fairly well and is easy to understand. I would like to see the author write a more advanced book, it appears he has the experience and ability.

Recommended for new police officers or those who need to refresh themselves on good tactics.
