5 out of 5 stars Great book, great price!!   November 10, 2008
I just couldn't quite afford a new, latest edition of this book. I found the 7th Edition of it here on Amazon. It was in excellent condition and the price was amazing! I was thrilled to get it at this price, and the correspondence from the seller and speed of shipment was good!

I'm homeschooled and wanted to do Forensic Science as an elective. This book is written in a clear, understandable manner and is very informative. I liked how there was a chapter summary, review questions, and a case reading after every chapter. I definietly recomend this book if you want to use it as a text book or even just a good read.


4 out of 5 stars Expensive, but worth it   May 14, 2007

Now this is one expensive book, but it's well worth it in my opinion. I just finished a 60+ page thesis paper for college and this was one of the Computer Forensics books that I referenced/used a source. It's a thorough book that covers a lot more than just Computer Forensics, but rather aspects of the whole of Forensic Science. The full color pages are detailed and the case studies are thorough.
