150 things about casino security
For someone with little or no background in casino security, this is a good book. it isn't very detailed for someone with more knowledge.

A broad overview
This is a very good book on the subject. The information is limited or rather broad, however with so much to cover it is understandable. I've been in surveillance for 7-8 yrs. I was able to learn and refreshed my knowledge. It is defintely time well spent and a bargain price compaired to other surveillance training.

Very informative from an insider
While this was a read for professional research, I found that it was a fascinating and well-written operational overview of a world that few every get to see from this perspective.
