Better for camp cooks with some experience.

The introductory material on buying, seasoning and cleaning the oven is excellent. The suggested additional equipment is reasonable and easily obtainable. The lack of temperature information and baking times of the individual recipes is a serious shortcoming to beginning dutch oven cooks as is the lack of information on the amount of coals necessary to produce a specific temperatures. Overall, an excellent cook book, but better for more experienced cooks.

A Good 'Take Along' Cast Iron Cookbook

This is an excellant beginners Dutch Oven Cookbook. This book fits inside my dutch oven and I take it with me camping. I had no problem with the cooking temperatures or times given in the book. Excellant advice and some very good recipes for a beginner. Every fire is different and every Dutch Oven cooking experience is different. This book will help keep the disasters to a minimum.

A "Just OK" starter book

Although there is usable, valuable information in this book, overall it's just OK. There are a lot of errors that should have been caught. That lack of attention to detail in a listing or sales contract could land you in court.

There was also some padding to make the book bigger. When the author tells you to make a list to compare brokerages, he includes the list three times so you can compare three brokers!

My guess is, that in the future, the author will write a better, more in depth book about real estate. He knows the business and has been very successful. In the meantime, "Your First Year in Real Estate," by Dirk Zeller, is a better introduction to the profession.

Starting & Succeeding in Real Estate

This book is a very basic introduction to the real estate business. If you want a general idea of what it takes to begin in real estate, this is a good resource. One issue that existed throughout the book were the constant grammatical and typographical errors. It was distracting at times and dimminished the impact of what was written.

Writer's Digest Review

The sound practical advice this book gives makes it a real must have for salespeople new to the real estate industry. It is easy to follow and lays out the pitfalls and trimphs of the real estate industry.
