The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy (book review)

Bettinger, Blaine T. (October 13, 2016). The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy. Published by Family Tree Books. ISBN 9781440345326.
From the publisher's book description: "This plain-English guide is a one-stop resource for how to use DNA testing for genealogy."

This comprehensive textbook by a respected industry expert covers the various tests and tools available today and is essential reading for anyone serious about genetic genealogy.

The editing should have been better. There are a few minor errors and omissions, especially in illustration captions, which fortunately I am knowledgeable enough to dismiss. Hopefully they will be corrected in future editions. The section for adoptees could also be beefed up a bit.
