Found these ten titles at Amazon.com and thought I would ask others if any of these are worth purchasing. Note: the titles here are in reverse order of Amazon's Top Ten List, starting at 10 and descending. Does anyone recommend or perhaps more importantly NOT recommend any of these titles?

Brian, My suggestion is to check your local library (can you believe it?) and check some of them out before purchase. I have read several on the list and would guess that as long as you have been doing genealogy a lot of the information wouldn't be new to you. Most of them have some very good tips but I didn't buy any of them. I haven't read every one of them but I believe I have at least browsed them. My favorite choice from this list is the Evidence! Citation and Analysis. Least favorite Genealogy for Dummies. Of course this is my personal opinion.
