3.0 out of 5 stars generalized overview. This book needs to be more specific., June 17, 1998

By A Customer

"The Advanced Bounty Hunter"?!? I Don't think so. Reading this title leads the reader to believe that Bob Buton is going to share his nitty gritty know how with the readers. Instead Burton shares many a story from yester-year. While entertaining, these stories do not get into the specifics one needs, to be sucessfull as an Advanced Bounty Hunter. Burton touchs on some very important subjects, yet chapter after chapter Burton leaves you short changed. For example, One chapter called "The arrest" does a good job at teaching what handcuffs are for and which ones to buy; but tells you nothing of good, sound arrest techniques.Or how to even use handcuffs. After all, one does not simply put handcuffs on a six foot four, two hundred twenty pound wanted felon. "Bail Enforcment Academy" By Eric Davis is a much better teaching tool. Davis goes into much greater detail on every subject Burton covers and even some he fails to cover. "Bail Enforcer" was somewhat disappointing givin Burton's experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should Have Been Better, May 5, 2008

I read this book about ten years ago and was just looking through it the other day. It is not Burton's best work by far. It is not a worthy follow-up to the original "Bounty Hunter". This book could have been so much better considering Burton's experience. This is just a collection of stories and not a dialogue on realistic technique. Find something else!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great follow-up to "Bounty Hunter.", May 27, 1998

By A Customer

The newest update to the "Bounty Hunter" series. If you read the first one, then this is a "Must Read." Bob Burton keeps the reader abreast of the ever changing laws involving fugitive recovery. Loaded with updated information about the business of returning the "Bad Guys" to justice.
