as exciting as it sounds

very good, direct-language and simple book to start with if you want to build a solid idea about qualitative methods. However, it really lacks exploring other very important methods such as discourse analysis and gran theory.

The title doesn’t reflect the content, this is not a book on qualitative research methods in general, but merely a guide to grounded theory.
