Q. Is this information available elsewhere?

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, LET ME  GIVE YOU THIS TIP. IF YOU CAN'T CALL AND GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THE AUTHOR, AND IF THE AUTHOR DOES NOT HAVE EXPERT POLYGRAPH CREDENTIALS THAT HAVE BEEN VERIFIED, DON'T BUY THEIR MANUAL AND/OR DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE. I CAN VERIFY MY CREDENTIALS AND I WILL TALK TO YOU IN PERSON. THERE ARE SOME OUTRIGHT FRAUDS WHO REALLY HAVE NO EXPERTISE AND WON'T EVEN SAY WHERE EXACTLY THEY RAN POLYGRAPH TESTS, (WHICH THEY NEVER DID) - AND SOME LOSERS WHOSE ONLY EXPERIENCE WITH THE POLYGRAPH IS THAT THEY ONCE FLUNKED A TEST - ALL TELLING YOU HOW TO PASS A POLYGRAPH TEST.  Polygraphers often brag that they have caught many people using "countermeasures". I can tell you that the only ones they catch are those who get bad information - don't trust your test results to some unknown so called polygraph expert who won't even talk to you on the phone, or to someone whose only experience with the polygraph is that they once flunked a test. There are always a couple of new sites on the web with some guys giving out advice on how to pass a polygraph - they come and they go. Information from older out of date versions of my manual has been plagiarized, paraphrased, and outright stolen many times over the years by many different people for many different reasons. Some of them have changed it a bit, (perhaps to avoid being such obvious thieves), or added and deleted a little bit here and there, (so it looks like they have actually had an original thought). But all that really does is make their material confusing and unreliable. I have read this information, and believe me it is not good enough to prepare you to pass the test. And don't bother asking them questions - they don't know any more than you do, and I sure would not go to them for advice on how to pass my polygraph test.
