received this book as a gift from one who knew that my husband and i are embarking on the search for our first house. it seemed pretty thorough and informative, but when tested for nuts and bolts, i've found it lacking. for instance, we've been to a few open houses and determined our budget, so what now? do we talk to an agent first? get pre-approved for a loan? impossible to figure out from the book. and on a more basic level, i can't stand to read the prose for very long with all the snide comments, that i guess are meant to be funny.... i was inspired to come rate the book on amazon by the especially involved dig at people who have supplemented their education with graduate degrees, or should i say 'extra pieces of paper for the wall'? blech. i've heard it before. spend a little more time on the homebuying advice and less on the self-derogatory humor, eric.Get more detail about Home Buying For Dummies, 4th Edition.
