Easy to understand

This book is in simple terms making a difficult material easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

Generally very good treatment with some lapses.

This work covers almost all areas of fingerprinting and identification. It has some lapses where it does not explain the full Henry Classification process. I found the book to be quite adequate in most areas. It has become somewhat dated in the fact that it only covers AFIS Systems briefly in the final chapter.There are some areas that I would rate as excellent, and others as "rushed" and not read over by the author. Some sections do not take into account a reader who has not spent 20 years in classifing prints. The Henry Classification System is not totally covered - although AFIS Systems make Henry outdated.
