Format:Paperback
This book seems very well researched. It has lots of good information and facts as well as links to websites etc. It is also written in a fairly fun style and so makes it easier reading. Would recommend this book for anyone thinking of moving to and/or working in USA. It is the better of the two I purchased.

I have read David Hampshire books before and that's what made me buy this Living & Working in America book above other books, and it's a real 'must have'. It covers living in America in real detail and I thank David Hampshire for (once again) coming up with the 'Bible' of all books.
I have read this from cover to cover - invaluable information, clear tables, Education, Accommodation, Insurance & Health Information, Finding a job, driving and the list goes on!! All in all, the one book to take with you.

After spending longer than I should reading through library guide after library guide, I admit I was a little sceptical when I came across this. First finding several articles extracted from the book online, I soon realised that my assumptions of another "boring comprehensive guide" were the total opposite.
This is definitely that kind of book you keep, even if it no longer serves a purpose to you. It is in fact, an intriguing read, bringing into perspective a great deal more relating to the process of actually building a life, instead of only providing the basics, allowing you to feel as though the book is understanding of the human nature.
Being a young student setting out to make my path in the world I found this a great comfort to read, being worried about the complications and lengthy processes involved, they were however explained to me in great depth. Aside from being a more personal read, it is also far more interesting and detailed than a number of other guides, leaving no subjects uncovered so you are spared the head-scratching.
