5.0 out of 5 starsMust-have book for Guidance Encase Forensics and Reporting

This is absolutely a must-have book for Encase Users. I've never highlighted and bookmarked so many pages in a book in my career. She gives great guidance on how to use Encase Forensic features such as Case Analyzer and Search (great GREP tips!) but also equally important guidance on preparing reporting in a repeatable fashion that should be invaluable in the heat of battle. It focuses on the Encase Forensic product and touches on Enterprise and Portable. I'd like more there, especially on advanced Enterprise features, but that's probably a book all unto its own so I wouldn't rate this book any lower. Well worth the money in my opinion.
4.0 out of 5 starsThis is a Great Beginner's book for EnCase 7+

First Off.. This is a Great Beginner's book for EnCase 7+ .. So if you are making the transition from 6 ..or if you are new the EnCase product. Give this a shot. I think Steve Bunting's ENCE certification guide is a bit more technical but should be considered a must have in lieu of any Guidance Documentation.
Book is pretty good. Basically tells you how to use EnCase. Could have used some more real world examples of what to look for and how to use EnCase to do it. But overall, pretty helpful.
