5 out of 5 stars A Very Good Start!!!   September 9, 2005

Mr. Stage does a very good job in introducing the business of Process serving to the in-experienced but interested reader. This book is small but packs a good punch of useful insight. He uses some personal experiences but only enough to guide you through an explanation of the proper techniques and procedures. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the field of process serving. Very Insightful!! Just what I was looking for!!


5 out of 5 stars Lots of Info in a Little Bitty Book   March 15, 2006

This Little Bitty Book has more information in it that is applicable to actually doing the job of Process Service than some of the larger, more expensive books have in them. This book explains terms, methods, and general legalities where the lay person can understand them but also the experienced person in the field of process service can appreciate them. This book was a great buy!


5 out of 5 stars 'Little' certainly describes it...   August 30, 2006

Yes, it's 128 pages, however, the entire book is approx. 3" wide x 5" tall x 1/2" thick, so they're teeny-weeny pages...

That said, there is A LOT of information in this little book; it's worth the price just for the new terms & glossary included throughout & at the end. I live in Wyoming, where the Sheriff's Office generally does the process service, but this book will help me get in on the action, too. I've never seen any ads for 'special' (private/independent) process servers in my town, so I might find a pretty good little niche to supplement my business.

Overall, a great investment for $5 & definitely a good addition to my personal library.

Wm. Stage's "The Practical Guide to Process Serving" is a must-read for all new Process Servers who are desperate for information to get started in the business. I especially recommend this book for those who live in states that do not offer formal Process Server training. Stage provides the "nuts & bolts" of the business. I especially found the definitions and terms extremely helpful. It's a shame that I'm just now reading this, after being in the business for twelve months. I was able to make immediate improvements to my work processes because of what I learned from this book. Now I know why the book is packaged the way that it is. It's small so that you can take it with you on the road - which is just what I did today. It's still in my purse. If you don't read this book, you better hope you get this valuable information somewhere else. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for someone you know who is just getting started. They will never stop thanking you for the gift. P.S. If anyone hears about the author publishing Practical Guide Part II, email me. I don't want to be the last to know.

Being a new Process Server, this book is gold! Its small size makes it easy to carry with me for quick reference.
