Great book, great price!!:
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!
Books:
I think the book is everything I thought it would be, and it arrived in a timely fashion.
I loved it!:
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.
Expensive, but worth it:
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.
