worth getting ( nomonkeysson )
Once you find a publisher its important to get an agent. This book will save time and money.

 Same Old, Same Old
This is probably the third edition of this book that I've purchased, and I finally figured out that the book can't possibly list all the serious and competent literary agents. By the time you winnow the list down to the few who might be interested, based on their profiles, the list gets mighty thin. After trying several (for a few novels over the years) I finally decided to self-publish a very small quantity of books and treat my writing as a hobby. I'm much happier doing this than trying to deal with a publishing establishment that seems to change little from year to year. So I think the main problem this guide suffers from is simply lack of completeness.

 Book ( erubin9 )
I ordered 2 books, I was immediately informed by email that one of the books was not available and the other would ship in about 10 days. The book came in ten days and was in perfect condition. All in all a pleasant experiance.

 Guide to Literary Agents 2007
The book was informative and was what I needed. I will purchase the 2008 edition unless I get an agent before then for my novel.

Helpful for New Writers
As a writer with little experience in trying to find an agent, this book has been very helpful to me. The information is up-to-date and accurate in regard to all those agents I have queried. Most of the agents have responded to correspondence within the time frame stated in the book, and I also found the pointers on how to write a synopsis very helpful, although not all agents want a synopsis quite as long as the implied page length in the article. Overall, though, the book has helped me a lot.
