I bought this book in the excitement of getting ready to become a "Mrs." but as it turns out, you can get all the info & forms you need to change your name pretty much on-line so I didn't use a single form out of the book. I did like the postcards and address labels that were included but again, didn't use any. It does come with a CD to format the labels but it didn't work so my advice is to spend the money on something else.

I purchased this book primarily for the software, which I thought would help save time completing the name change forms. I found the book to have useful information; however, the software was incompatible with the Windows 98 operating system on my computer. The publisher kindly provided another copy of the software upon request, unfortunately, that copy was also incompatible. As a result, my husband had to format my computer's hard drive and reinstall Windows 98 several times. If you do not have an interest in using the software, this book might be the one for you.

This book had its ups and downs. The forms in the book were helpful. Considering my wife was the person that I had bought it for, I don't really have first hand experience with the book. The impression I gathered from her was that it was easy to have all the forms in one place and it took her a couple hours to get them all down and in the mail. The software wasn't really all that good because it doesn't have anything that is useful. It has forms you can print off if you need more but I don't know why you would and the labels were kind of a pain to get to fit and then when they printed they smeared. So, if you are looking for all the forms in one spot this is a good book, but don't buy it for the software or labels. You can make your own on Microsoft Word.

I wish I had read other reviews before purchasing. I purchased this mainly for the software as well. After installing the software, my computer crashed. Not relating the two incidents, I tried it on my husband's computer. His also crashed. (We are both running Windows 2000.) We discovered that the forms we needed in the book were all easily found on the web for free. So if you are willing to take a little time to surf the web, it's a waste of money (and time trying to fix your computer). The book's publishing company no longer has it available on their website and has a different name change kit instead...I think that says something about the product as well.

Everything that you don't think of is in this book and all the things you had thought of! You can even print the forms right out and don't have to go running around town to do all your name changing.

This book contained a lot of the info that I needed to change my name. It included some companies that I wouldn't have thought of changing my name with. The "convenient" labels that came with it didn't work in my printer, though.
