From Library Journal
Roman has written extensively on relocating and spoken on both radio and TV. Having moved 16 times, she has built her knowledge from her own experiences, both domestic and international. This title is packed so full of practical information that it should make one's move to anywhere less stressful. In fact, much of the information is helpful in just making the transition to different stages of one's life. Roman discusses career interruption, selling and buying a home, buying vs. renting, mortgages, insurance, medical care, care for the elderly, schools, as well as information pertaining more specifically to moving, i.e., organizing the move, moving options, arrival in the new city, and getting established. Her advice is practical, down-to-earth, organized, and doable. A solid guide for public libraries.?Julia Stump, Voorheesville P.L.,

WASTE OF MONEY
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY IT POINTS OUT THE OBVIOUS T. LUCAS

Of limited value, even on your first move
The sole market segment this book MAY assist are people who have never moved. The points made are so obvious that it could have been written by your next door neighbor, not an "insider." The only "insider" aspect to this paperweight is that someone on the inside saw a market opportunity to cash in on a segment of the moving population with a catchy title and nice cover graphics. The "ABCs" of relocating, as PART I is described, offers about a couple of paragraphs on MAJOR topics ranging from "Negotiating a Profitable Home Sale" to "Insurance, Finance and Estate Guidelines".....hardly subjects that can even be skimmed in a few paragraphs. Not that I would expect a treatis, but to suggest in the index that such subjects are addressed, is nearly misreprestation. In sum, if you read the index, you have read the book, because the information which follows, to be generous, touches on each subject.
