Previous edition saved a ton of money

My instructor said it was fine to use this previous edition, which saved about $80.00 compared to a new copy of the latest. Haven't read it yet, but am looking forward to it.

Easy to read...

Mark Homan is my teacher so I'm a little biased. His book is very straight-forward, easy to read, and funny. It is definitely a must-read if you are going into the Social Services field. A lot of what Mark talks about in his books are common sense, but they are things that people don't generally spend a lot of time thinking about. Mark uses his 25+ years of experience to give us a lot of valuable advise.
