Software does not work!!!!!:
The software that accompanies this book is obsolete (14.0). You will have to pay an additional $100 to obtain the updated software (16.0).
Wonderful Resource:
This book is a great help in understanding and simplifying the SPSS program. Exercises are reasonable and allow practical application of steps discussed in the short chapter pages.
Good manual:
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.
