Customer Reviews

I have found essentials in this book

I have found all essentials in this book I needed, but rated it by 4 stars because of two things: 1. lack of some more detailed information; 2. design of this book. Text arranged so flat, that sometimes it gets hard to read. I would recommend this book to anybody, who plans to move to US and has no information where to start from: from arriving, arranging visas to renting or buyng property.

Great resource...

This is a great handbook for those wanting to head to the USA to live & work. It is very detailed and seems to cover everything you would need to know.

Living & Working in America by David Hampshire

A really useful, practical guide giving realistic and balanced views of what to expect from the States.Invaluable for those with no previous knowledge on which to base important decisions.

Another excellent guide to living in a foreign country

Previous to my move to Spain I bought David Hampshire's "Living and Working in Spain" and found it to be an invaluable aid and an excellent source of information. I'm contemplating a move to the US and so was very pleased and interested to see that David Hampshire has published a similar book for America. I wasn't disappointed with the book and again found it packed with useful information, and important time and money saving tips. this edition looks as if it too will prove invaluable to me as I find my way around America and the Americans. At least with "Living and Working in America" I've had all my questions answered so far and I feel I'm as prepared as I ever will be!

Highly recommended

I've read all the books on living and working in the States and this is probably the best book there is! The amount of information it contains is staggering - not only is there information on all the essential stuff - like visas and finding a job etc. - but everything else you might need to know, such as shopping, driving, finding a school for the kids, banking - even what to do in your time off. If you need to know anything about the US you will find it in this book. The book is also very truthful - telling you good as well as bad - and also very amusing in places, which might not suit everybody. Generally though I would recommend it to anyone.
