Lots of Info
Other books I've read that cover a general area, such as an entire State, have been very skimpy on the details. Usually you're given a location, a few lines about what type of alleged activity has been witnessed, and that's about it. This book delivers a deluge of historic background information on the area of the location, it's inhabitants and how they relate to the alleged ghostly activity. In some cases detailed information from witnesses. I've lived in Illinois most of my life, and I'm overwhelmed by all of the history I was never aware of before reading this book. A definite must have book for anyone interested in the paranormal activity, especially in Illinois. If you're a history buff you will find this book intriguing, informative and unsettling all at the same time.
The book is well written, well researched, and a comfortable easy read that moves along at a nice pace. I'd have to say this is one of the better books I've read on the subject of Paranormal Illinois.

For the price no complaints
It fulfills the needs I was looking for in this type of camera. It's not perfect BUT it's a reasonable substitute for the prohibitively higher-priced GoPro series of action cams. It does what I want and need it to do, and that's all that's necessary.

Works As Expected, Worth The Money
5 of 5 found this helpful Although I understand the meaning of the word "Refurbished" and the original product that has been refurbished can be a store display model, a returned model, an open box etc. The company doing the refurbishing is suppose to return the product to as new quality as when it left the factory. So it should look and perform like a product off the factory floor. YOU STILL WONDER, about the quality of work the refurbishing company can provide. I took a chance and VERY HAPPY with the results. I've done a lot of research online comparing this lens with the Sigma equivalent. Because my past experiences with Sigma have never lived up to my past experiences with Tamron lenses, I went with the Tamron. The amount of research I did also created questions as far as if this lens is capable of producing sharp images when shooting "Birds In Flight". Shooting static objects and getting sharp images in not the same as shooting a moving object and when it comes to moving birds, there's a whole lot going on with flight pattern, wing movement, head movement, backgrounds, foregrounds etc to get all in focus! I have been more than plesanty surprised by the quality of images this lens has delivered so far. Every day, with more practice and more experience with using this lens, the images are still continuing to improve!
I had been shooting bird photos using an older Tokina 400mm f5.6 close focus prime lens, and have been very happy with the results from that. Wanting the extra 200mm of reach I decided to give this lens a shot and I am SO HAPPY I did! The images from this lens blows those taken with the Tokina out of the water! Clarity, sharpness, contrast, speed of focus, depth of field, all the checkmarks are in the Tamron's boxes. I'm sure there are better lenses and lenses that would be as big of an improvement over this Tamron as it's been over the Tokina. HOWEVER I don't have $12,000 PLUS to spend on those lenses! This is my most expensive lens to day, and it's been worth every penny plus I spent on it.
