    • I highly recommend this book to anyone and everybody whether you live ...
I purchased this book because of the ratings and the title. "Layman" is what i was looking for. I have some children, now men, with children living in the city and of course as a parent\grandparent I seem to worry more than I should. This book, Essential Home Security, was exactly what i was looking for. The book made me remember some of the simple things that people tend to forget when they are trying to keep their home safe. I bought both my older kids a copy also. We have a teenager and live in a high traffic area and i worry for them and my wife's safety. A lot of the things in this book are common sense stuff but also things you need to do and don't. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everybody whether you live in the rural or city areas. better safe than sorry ...as they say. thanks I feel safer because of it. S ... show more

    • A Valuable Resource for Home Security
I've been associated with home security with ADT, Security Analysts, and Honeywell, and my professional curiosity lead me to buy a copy of this book. I found this book to be thorough, applying a common-sense approach to addressing what is most important in successfully protecting your family and property. Of course, it's not possible to provide a one-size fits all manual with detailed specifics covering every security need imaginable. For that, a security professional must do a personal assesment on the specific property you wish to protect. If you are looking for a sound strategy to layout the best way to begin to protect your home and your family, I highly recommend this book. ... show more

    • Good overview
This book is ok. I was hoping for more advanced material. However, for someone just getting interested in Home Security, it is a good overview of the topic.

    • Excellent book, very well written
As a police officer, I frequently perform home security surveys for county residents. This book covers more than I was ever tought in a week long class on the subject. It is very well written with many good illustrations. If you are concerned with how safe your home is, get this book, read it and then implement what you have learned. ... show more

    • Common Sense Solutions...Lacking Depth
The first thing that you should know is that this book is self-published. I probably wouldn't have purchased it if I knew this beforehand. Although, the book is well-written and logically organized, much of what the author conveys is simply common sense material. No great insights in how to protect your home. And you can find these same security suggestions in any FREE brochure from your police department or on-line. Regretfully, I didn't learn anything new here, and I wasted my money. And I doubt any reader would find much to recommend it. My biggest complaint is that there are no specifics. No list of recommended security products, no details, or references. I wish I could recommend this book, but I can't. ... show more

    • Interesting consequences of purchasing this book.
This book is a good, solid introduction to home security and I recommend it wholeheartedly. However, very interestingly, shortly after I ordered this book I began to receive mailings at my home from the NRA which had never happened before. I certainly wonder if Amazon provided them the information that I bought this book! ... show more
