I was able to extract questions from this book to incorporate into a document analysis protocol for my dissertation case study. As a first of its kind, I found that book incredibly useful for my research planning. I think that aids or summaries at the end (e.g., summation of the questions raised throughout the chapters) would make the book an even more helpful guide for beginning researchers.
