Basch has interviewed thirty five net users.  The interviews are presented as
such.  Therefore, while the interviews themselves may be of interest, the book
is hardly as useful a resource as the likes of "Finding it on the Internet"
(cf. BKFNDINT.RVW).
 
I don't know all of those interviewed, but I do recognize a number of names
from works I have reviewed.  Two of the names are quite respectable.  A rather
larger number, however, belong to those who have turned out books whose value
is questionable.  Overall, you are not going to find any secrets here.  You get
the same advice on searching that you find anywhere else.  In one sense, the
advice is balanced because you have more than one view.  In another, trying to
find the balance can take a lot of time since the perspective of one
interviewee contradicts that of another.
