Description

<p><span style="color:#000000;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Santa’s Birthday Gift was written in response to a grandchild’s question, after reading the story of the Nativity.<span>  </span>She asked, “But where’s Santa?”<span>  </span>This story tells the story of the Nativity and then goes on to tell the story about how when Jesus is born, Santa sees the star at the North Pole and travels to see the baby.  Since he is a toymaker, he brings his bag of toys - and offers them to the Christ Child, and then to all the people of the town.  His birthday gift to Jesus is a promise to bring gifts to all good boys and girls each year on the Christ Child's birthday</span></p>

Great insight into doing research and skip tracing with some really good lists of things to do and places to go. I appreciate that the book doesn't take up half it's pages to quote laws like some other skip trace books that I have bought before.<br /><br />It's a very helpful addition to my iPhone.<br /><br /><br /><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span> <span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>A strong buy for anyone in collections.</strong>, June 30, 2012</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div><div style="float:left;">By </div><div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/ARYRJK0UBWSW3/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jane Smith &quot;Jane Smith&quot;</span></a> (North Dakota) - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/ARYRJK0UBWSW3/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&amp;sort_by=MostRecentReview">See all my reviews</a></div></div> </div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span class="crVerifiedStripe"><strong class="h3color tiny" style="margin-right:.5em;">Amazon Verified Purchase</strong><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis">(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase">What's this?</a>)</span></span> </div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <strong><span class="h3color tiny">This review is from: </span>Skip Trace Secrets - Dirty Little Tricks Skip Tracers Use (Kindle Edition)</strong> </div> Some really good research techniques that are easily laid out and understandable. She knows her stuff and communicates very well. Shows how to get information using resources I had not thought of and some good old skip trace tricks too.<br /><br />For me it was very helpful in creating a more thorough background search for our company. I recommend this book to any job that is learning how to skip trace. It's got some essential tools. At the end of the book it says she is working on volume 2. I definitely am now a fan and I definitely will get volume 2. Good work. <br /><br /><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span> <span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Goes way beyond the basics.</strong>, June 21, 2012</span> </div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div><div style="float:left;">By </div><div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AC1QBDKYI1DON/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Doug P.

It goes way beyond the basics giving insight on creative ways to find a debtor (skipped debtor, that is) A lot of tips that save money and time. Not to mention, frustration, as tracking a skip does provide.<br /><br />The author provides a wealth of hands on how-to steps and does answer her email with any questions that you may have. It was a nice surprise to get a reply. I recommend this book to anyone in the PI or collections business. It really is a must have for the beginner and nice to have for an old timer like me that needs to keep up with the fast advances in information that the internet has access to.<br /><br />The blog the author has is really nice, it has a few links posted I think as they are discovered and is well worth a visit every so often. <br /></div> </div>
