Format:Hardcover
It's the classic of the genre and has been for years but......there's too much information: the historical content is interesting but adds to the clutter. It really could do with a thorough shake-down as well as updating to include modern search concepts such as Probabilities of Detection and pyschological profiling of missing persons.
Having said that it is still a fascinating read with an amazing array of photos which add to its appeal.
Glad I bought it nevertheless.
