Initially disappointed that there was no expedited shipping and the anticipated arrival date for this book was in 4 weeks, I was pleasantly surprised to receive it in only 2 weeks. The book arrived in perfect, brand new condition, as promised. I was not able to track the book or contact the seller but will definitely use & recommend this seller.

Does What It Says

This book is intended for graduate level readers, specifically, counselors designing and publishing research studies in peer reviewed journals. You should already have had statistics and research methods in your undergraduate program before attempting to read this book. Also, you had better have not only gotten an A in those classes, but also thought that they were interesting and stimulating; otherwise, this book is likely to intimidate and/or lose you quick. This is obviously not the author's aim; however, research isn't for everyone and the information has to be fairly involved in order to give the necessary insights. Nonetheless, it is written in an easy to read style and walks you through the various constructs with plenty of examples and discussion.
