An Introductory Guide to SPSS® for Windows®

“The book is a nice blend of written instructions and examples of using the SPSS programs. This book does not overwhelm the student or instructor and gives the most inexperienced user confidence about using SPSS and conducting data analysis. I absolutely love this type of book.” – Laurie J. Walter
