Perfect Overview
If I'd had this book before I sold my car, I wouldn't have had my identity stolen. Author John Q gives an overview of identity thieves that lets you know what areas you need to look out for. Also gives you information on the tedious follow up while you try to repair the damage done--who to contact, what to say or write. This is a real good book for the average person who is just trying to protect their privacy. I hope Loompanics has him write more on this subject. I checked with them, but although there is more in the way of privacy books, no other identity theft books come close to this for clear, concise information.

Good for a quick Glance
This book very informative in dealing with the identity theft that is present in the US which is what I was interested in. However, I did noticed it was lacking in content when dealing with other countries. For this one needs to apply previous knowledge of local systems to understand what Newman is describing. For anyone interested in Identity theft I recomend this for a once over lightly te get a quich understanding on a large topic. This book is suitable for the general public who may know very little about this crime. However, there really is no new information to be gleaned from the book.
