This is an in depth guided tour through information gathering. I would recommend it to anyone who could use elicitation skills.

Stopa is the master of this type of information gathering---and many others. A worthwhile book for amateurs and professionals alike.

eh....okay book. He repeats the information from the elicitation portion in the interviewing section.

Great Practical Exercises to use.

It's an interesting read but the material is repeated throughout, and there are lots of errors in the book; it could definitely use editing before the next print.
