Title: Not worth the money
Product review: ...this book falls well short of expectations. Much of the information (for example, how to merge and split data files in SPSS) I was able to figure out on my own. In addition, this book is outdated. It went to press in 1998 and discusses a version of SPSS (v 7.5) that came out in 1996. Six years later SPSS has moved on (v 11.5) but this book has not. For this price, there must be a better alternative (although I am still in search of one myself).I want to add that the poor quality of this supplement takes nothing away from the excellence of Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences (4th ed.).
