First written in 1993 and now updated in 2001 to include "Internet coverage / tools"; if you are interested in outdated information provided in long form and returning low ROI--then this book is for you. In reading the book and rereading the reviews here one might conclude that the positive reviews were self-generated or paid for.As an executive headhunter/recruiter myself, I suggest you save yourself from an excruciatingly painful 581 page read and pass on this one. Certainly not written for an executive-level audience; poorly written and even more poorly edited (seemingly unedited). If you still feel otherwise compelled buy one, consider one the many used editions currently available through Amazon; in this case the used book reseller is providing much higher value and greater service than the writer has.
