Numerous books have been written about Questioned Documents by various experts. The purpose of these books has been to teach the profession to practicing examiners and apprentices. The book by Levinson, however, is different. It is designed for lawyers, for whom it can be a very important reference aid in handling documents examination and testimony. Even document examiners will benefit from the clear, comprehensive and systematic description of the Questioned Documents field.

The book starts with an historical overview of Questioned Documents and its acceptance in courts of law. It then goes through different examinations --- from handwriting and typewriters to computer prints and fax machines --- each time concisely explain the principles of examination and providing basic bibliography for further reference.

I have found this volume to be a very useful addition to my professional library.
