Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff von Matthew Lesko
Not the value it makes itself out to be, but there still may be something useful inside.
#29, 2006
This book wasn’t quite what I was expecting based on the subtitle. I thought it would be tips about protecting your personal information on the Internet, but it wasn’t. It’s about research, basically, and how to research efficiently and get the information you need. Trouble is, it was written about 10 years ago, and so is sadly out of date. Still, he has some good ideas about finding sources for the information, and some of that information is still relevant.
