APCO MAGAZINE REVIEW "We don't do book reviews. Don't know why. But when the Ick book came…well, that cover made me look inside. This is no ordinary book. Suffice it to say, however, that I can't remember another book with a "movie" in it. Sue's Notes…well, I've maintained a theory that success and sense of humor are related, Sue proves this. ..packed with good, need-to-know by anyone in public safety stuff."
This book is a collaboration between a techy and a Telecommunications trainer. We know we need to know technical stuff, but how much and how boring can it be? This book is NOT boring but does tell you all you need to know about lots of things in the Comm Center. And to keep you up to techy date, we have included FREE a concise workbook on "MORE ICKY Wireless Stuff". No excuses!
Dispatch Monthly Magazine Says:
"So, have you noticed I have avoided mentioning any of the "technical stuff" in the book? There is a lot of it packed into 152 pages, and it is all good, need-to-know. And Paul, with Sue to help, has presented it in a way that would be of interest...as Sue says...to adults who have no interest! This is a fun book.
Technical stuff by Paul Linnee, Whining by Sue Pivetta. You MUST have this book in your agency! Why? Because you know you cannot answer those technical questions your trainee asks. With Ick in your library you simply point to the book shelf and say, Read that! Radio, 800 Mhz, telephony, 911, repeaters, scanners, AVL, GPS, computers - you WILL find your answer in there I promise. And if you get bored, watch the flip through motion picture."
"There are thousands of technical manuals out there, every one serious, complicated, not public safety oriented and certainly no fun to read. Now, someone has finally broken those rules. `Ick` is one of the most readable - and irreverent - technical books I’ve read."
