Great resource

I am a Private Detective and own my own business, I think this book is easy and great! I recommend it for anyone in my profession.Well worth the money on all the research time you will save.

Investigator's Ready Reference Tool

The marriage of The Sourcebook and the Guide to Background Investigations cumulates into an expert's tool which can be used by all readers. The book begins with a brief but useful "how to" section and then becomes a reference source for locating information.Alphabetically we see all offices and agencies in all fifty states and US Territories as well as Puerto Rico and Canada.

I've worked with public records for some time and have bought many books . . . some good and some bad. This is the best I've come across. The information is current and the format is easy to use. The depth of information provided, particularly in the county court and state agency sections, is very comprehensive. This book provides more locations and more details than anything else I've seen and I have them all.If you work with public records, forget the other guides and put your money here . . . you won't be disappointed
