Too late for me
Fifteen years ago I worked for a period of time as a PI. I was thrown into it with limited training, and I can tell you, just from the "Surprise me" excerpts I read, there is some pretty good stuff in this book. I learned things in just a ten-minute perusal that I guarantee would have been useful to me back then in avoiding/escaping some embarassing/potentially dangerous situations in which I found myself, not to mention more efficiently collecting information. I long ago got out of the PI game (mostly because I was uncomfortable deceiving people for a living, even when it's for a "good" cause), so I probably won't be purchasing this book, but I most certainly would recommend it to someone who wants to learn about or get into the PI business, or maybe just brush up on skills.

It's more than adequate
Did we read the same book.I learned how to tail people, work undercover and pick a lock.How-to's are laid out in chapters.It was well worth what it costs.

The Worst Book on the Subject I've Read Yet!
To refer to this mini-book as a PI School, referencing it as a course is ludicrous.There is almost no information on how to really become a PI. There is some information on the industry, and the writing style is good and straight forward, but just no real meat.If you're looking for a BRIEF overview then this little book is excellent.But if you want real USABLE information that can help you acquire at least a basic WORKING knowledge, forget it.I've read several books on this subject and most are inadequate, but some at least offer some usable real world information. This work is greatly lacking!
