Rating:  Summary: Lights out Review: Excerpt of your book: Even more important than a battery backup is a power surge protector for appliances such as TVs, computers and fax machines, without which you risk having equipment damaged or destroyed. Hi Mr. David, since 1995 I am living in Spain AND NEVER did I have problems of that kind. But yes I did when I was in US years ago.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book Review: I have been traveling to Spain for more than seven years and thought I knew everything - David has done his homework well - Excellent book and very informative! Buy it!
Rating:  Summary: Living & Working in Spain by David Hampshire Review: I needed up to date information on retiring in Spain. This book "hit the spot". It is very informative with specific detail on the most important subjects a person researching & preparing for living in Spain will need. The book is a very useful tool, extremely well written & researched. Very entertaining in parts when the humour kicks in !
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book Review: I thought Mr. Hampshire's book was invaluable. His research and data was excellent and very timely. I did think, though, that there were a few prejudices that were quite outdated. Specifically with regards to the amount of time it takes to get things done in Spain. The service industry in Spain is extremely prompt, accurate and courteous. It blows the UK service industry out of the water. There are a few other details that could use updating.
Rating:  Summary: Very complete and full of good advice Review: This was a great help for me as I was preparing to move to Spain, and it was an enjoyable read. Some up-dating will have to be done though, now that the immigration laws in Spain are changing. I do think that some of the steoreotypes about bueaucratic chaos are a little exaggerated. (I guess Mr. Hampshire hasn't dealt with the American I.N.S. system.)
