"Robert Ellis Smith's intelligent addresses at our conferences in the past have proved to us that he is a leading expert in privacy and security. His books are no doubt of high value to other professionals in the field and a must-read for those looking for new insight into one of the most controversial industries today." -Nicole Emmett, Marketing & Research, Reboot Communications Ltd., Victoria, B.C., Canada.

With its annual supplements, this book continues to be an outstanding resource on privacy issues--the collection and dissemination of personal data, electronic surveillance, identify theft, credit reporting, and many others. The Compilation is always my first source for fielding questions about confidentiality and privacy rights and protections--or the lack thereof--in this country.

A truly valuable resource for privacy researchers, as well as anybody interested in navigating the confusing (and sometimes contradictory) panorama of legal protection afforded to privacy in the United States. The fact that this 2008 edition updates the compilation of laws up to very recent months makes it a much needed and timely reference.
