I was expecting something with a little more "meat" - this book is described as having 162 pages. Please be aware this is a tiny pocketbook and the text could easily fit on 40 regular-size pages. The amount of content is not worth the price of the book. In all seriousness, I've found more valuable information for free on the Internet.

This book is self-published which should tell you something. The Grammar and spelling in this book are atrocious. The author claims to have a BA in journalism yet neglected to proof his work. I've been studying the paranormal for the last 28 years and I can honestly say there are many inconsistencies in this book. The book is so bad I'm attempting to get my money back. It's not worth 13 cents let alone $13.99.

The book was fine for an amateur ghost hunter, with zero experience, or a young adult, who would like to get into learning about how to investigate ghosts. My biggest beef, this guy is promoting groups charging to do research for people who may be frightened out of their minds with what is happening in their home. I think he suggested $20 an hour for the team leader and $10 for the other researchers. I don't even remember I closed the book as soon as I saw that he wants to charge. If you want a good paranormal research book, get Vince Wilson's Untimate Ghost Hunter, and for a great paranormal how to guide, Troy Taylor's Ghost Hunters Guidebook. They are both far and away better this this piece of work.
Although, I am a little biased I am an American Ghost Society member.

The book is well written and chock full of accurate information. The author will even email you back when you have a question. I don't know what that guy was talking about, the book has helped me greatly! I haven't seen any grammatical or spelling errors at all. It may be self published, I can't tell the difference from any other book on the subject. The author even offers the book in e-book form WITH video! Ignore that guy with the attitude, it's obvious he is a competitor.

It does introduce the beginner to a lot of terms for hauntings and equipment. But it does little else. I was hoping for more detail on how to read and understand equipment and how to best utilize different equipment. Overall it is a good reference for the beginner.
