Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) Good manual   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Using SPSS is a good manual to navigate you through using SPSS. It is idiot-proof to follow if you just do what it says. Time-consuming to read the whole thing but good for picking out specific functions to learn. Would recommend this book. Includes a CD with data sets to use while following along with the reading.

2) Spss book   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Receive book in excellant condition. I am using it in class now. Thanks.

3) A waste of money   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
This book basically goes through what the options are under file, edit, view, etc. The help menu in the program would suffice for this. It also does not go through enough examples of when you would use the options.

4) Amazingly Helpful Text   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I have been struggling with learning SPSS using a text recommended by a professor. I was given the suggestion to try this by another colleague. I found the detailed information to be just what I needed. I would recommend it to others!

5) Very Useful / Practical - Not Intended to be a Theory Book   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
As an ABD graduate student, I have found this book to be very useful to me. It is the best book I have seen for just taking you through the procedures of using SPSS. Most stats books are only theory leaving you to your lab mates to learn how to actually do anything, but this book for the most part solved that problem for me. Very parcemonous and down to earth.
