This is one of the books that was written by John Hoffman AKA John Hoff AKA Johnny Northside. The publisher had the following comments listed on their site to describe the book.
Maybe after some of you see this, you will be happy he doesn't live by you right now lol.
My editorial comments are seen below in blue text.

It's been 10 years since the publication of John Hoffman's cult classic of urban scavenging, The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving. Now the Garbage Guru is back with an advanced course in the unconventional economics of exploring the trash for fun and profit.
Just some of the lessons you will learn include:
the key secret to dealing with locked dumpsters; (Hey, writing about breaking into something that others wanted to keep people like Johnny, out. Good example though.)
how to dive for information and use it to humiliate corporations, politicians and other evil-doers;
(Oh my! In other words...Stay on his good side or face the 800 pound gorilla!
the unusual profitability of diving for movie and celebrity castoffs;
(It seems to have paid off big.... BWAHAHAHA. Well, he DOES say he DRIVES a Celebrity. Nice car.)
the BIG-bucks potential of industrial diving, including the top 10 most lucrative places to do it;
(I am guessing that N Minneapolis was not on that list?)
how to sell your dumpster-dived wares through the flea market of the 21st century - eBay;
how to parlay dumpster diving consciousness into finding cheap property, supporting radical causes, even landing political office; and much more!
(I don't think any dumpsters led to cheap properties on the northside. I doubt the book also covers how to be removed from political office. How does it support a radical cause? Other than Johnny Northside himself?)

They all probably met around a dumpster.....er....I mean in a dumpster!
Just look at Jeff Skrenes' rental house, John Hoff's ghetto Chimney repair with plastic wrap with bungee cords, and Megan Goodmundson's hanging of the upside down American Flag and it all makes sense now. I can't forget to mention Kelly Browne and Michael "Kip" Browne's promotion of a Felony Kidnapper as well.
Birds of a feather flock together. In this case, the bird is the middle finger pointing at the rest of the neighborhood.
You are all welcome to find the exit door at anytime. None of you are from here and none of you belong here!
They all would leave except for one reason, which we will reveal shortly.
How about some current pictures of John's house with the illegal repair job.
The students on the U of M campus should be aware that John Hoff has registered for Summer 2010. Hopefully, the MN Daily is smart enough to not let him be a reporter again. Last time he was dubbed, "America's Favorite Douchebag".

John probably just needs some money so he's getting some more student loans. I'd hate to be the bank holding the bag for that bad debt.
