As a friend of mine so eloquently pointed out, there's nothing in this book you couldn't get on your own if you spent some time at your computer fiddling around with different key word searches on the Internet.

Being a freelance writer, I bought this book as a resource for doing research on housing topics. But I was disappointed. I was already familiar with most of the sites offered in this book and the sites I'd not heard of before were somewhat unimpressive.

Some of the URLs that authors Pfeifer & Leebow list in this book contain a line or two about the site, but the vast majority of the URLs have no additional information, JUST the URL. It's basically 116 pages of line listings of home-related URLs with maybe a dozen cartoons thrown in.

As someone who spends a great deal of time doing research on the Internet, this book was a disappointment. However, if you don't like Internet search engines, this book may be just what you want and need.
