The Private Investigator's Handbook by Chuck Chambers

[JohnUbele]

I recently started reading, "The Private Investigator's Handbook" by Chuck Chambers. Even though the book is a bit dated (originally published in 2005), I think the book could still be at least a little useful for activists and because of this I wanted to share it on the forum.

Amazon review:
5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward introduction to what private investigators do

Good basic introduction to what private investigators do and how they do it. I bought the book for basic research and it served my purpose. This book covers fidelity cases (suspected cheating spouses and domestic partners) pretty heavily which is probably to be expected since that seems to be the sort of case private investigators get quite often. I wasn't really interested in that part of it, but there was a lot of interesting information on how private detectives collect information and build files on the people they investigate. One thing you learn quickly while reading this book is that the work of a private eye is not nearly as glamorous as has been depicted on television and in the movies. Of course, that's true of most things.

One can pick up a used copy on Amazon for a couple of bucks plus postage. Were we to stock this title on our bookstore, however, we'd have to order a minimum of 25 copies, if even available, which is too many to keep in hard inventory.
