Summary: Better guides out there
Comment: The best part of this book was the Appendix of Internet Resources, and this alone does not warrant the cost of the book. I found much better information on performing health searches, as well as various other industries, in Find it Online: the Complete Guide to Online Research. Detwiler's book had some good information in it, but it was sporadic, and I did not find the interview format useful--on the contrary, many of the questions were irrelevant, or were good questions, but not really answered by the interviewee. This book is not really a useful tool for researchers, as there is too much useless information to wade through in order to glean anything of value; and there are certainly no "secrets", as far as I could see, that could not be found in other, more comprehensive, research guides.
