Rating: Summary: John is humorous, entertaining, and above all, informative Review: Already a Dumpster Diver, reading John's book made sense to me. It was funny, with strong examples and discoveries, and useful with new tips, suggestions, and rules on how to be a good diver. Of course I'd recommend it....
Rating: Summary: Better Living Through Dumpster Diving Review: Although I was diving before finding John's book, he opened up a whole new world of diving for me. Thanks to John, I'm now saving hundreds of dollars a month in food costs. Money that can be put to better use. John, if you read this, thank you! Email me! I'd love to hear from you. You changed my life.
Rating: Summary: This Dive Rates a "10" Review: An excellent (10 toes up) masterpiece about the Art, Science, and Sport of Dumpster Diving. If you're thinking of "lifting the lid" get this book! It's great for both the novice and veteran diver. You've got to buy it though, as you won't find it in a dumpster!
Rating: Summary: If you liked this book... Review: Hi. I'm Ace Backwords and I did the comics for the "DUMPSTER" book, so of course I think the book was great. If you liked that one you might also like my new book, "SURVIVING ON THE STREETS: How To Go Down WIthout Going Out" (Loompanics). It takes some of the basic self-sufficiency concepts of the "DUMPSTER" book and applies them to living on the streets in general. Check out the www.amazon.com site for more details. Naturally. And buy a copy of "THE ART AND SCIENCE OF DUMPSTER DIVING" while you're at it!

Rating: Summary: Excellent Information Review: Hoffman provides lots of excellent information as well as important safety tips. I don't necessarily agree with his expressed politics or philosophy and he can be quite sarcastic, but the data is there! I dived all through high school and college, and bought the book on a lark, and now I'm wondering why I ever stopped. Dumpster Diving is the logical next step for the Yard Sale Addict!
Rating: Summary: Hysterical book with tons of information Review: I bought this book expecting a few tips on dumpster diving. Instead this book is packed with tried and true methods of finding valuable goods. I have used Hoffman's tips out in the arena of real life and have scored consistently. I hope Mr Hoffman decides to write an update or get a newsletter going for those of us who are completely hooked. ...

Rating: Summary: Good Instruction Manual Review: I enjoyed this book for a lot of the tips and descriptions Hoffman gave. It ceertainly gave me many ideas about where to go and what to do. Hoffman is a gifted writer and the cartoons are hilarious and pointed. If I could have given this book 2.5 stars I would have.Unfortunately in this book, Hoffman also advocates lying, cheating, and taking advantage of others. His statements on mental illness alone are enough for me to find him personally repulsive. I'm glad I read this book but I certainly won't be buying it.
