Surprisingly useful and easy to read textbook. Has helped me quite a bit in my psychology classes, and I find myself using this as often as my APA Handbook, if not more.

It was a requirement for class, but it was good with helping with my literature review for research methods. It has the basics plus more. It was okay reading it.
