A must have book for Document Examiners and Attorneys

Mr.Hilton's review of Document Examination is all encompassing. He covers the entire realm of documents made by pen, pencil, typewriter, adding machines, cash registers, check writers, impression stamps, paper examination and trace markings on documents such as latent fingerprints, impressed writing and accidental markings. He discusses how identification is made and more importantly, when identification can not be made. I have read his book many times, as a document examiner and highly recommend it to both document examiners and attorneys. Mr. Hilton covers what the attorney needs to know in preparation for trial and how to handle a questioned document case in court.

The basic book for an professional approach

It's very important book for people who usally work in document examination, especially at goverment labs. I usally read that book every year (again & again!) and I always find something new for the documents examination. In my country we say "It's the A and the Z of our work" or "It's the start & the end on our work". It's a baseline book for every document examiner. J.D.Makris Athens,Greece
