The Survey Kit, 2nd edition

Rating:
Summary: I disagree!
Review: Avoid this series at all costs! It is too simplistic to actually help you design or conduct a survey. A better strategy would be to select a few volumes from the Sage Applied Social Research Methods Series. (See Lavarakas, Fowler, and Mangione volumes.) I have seen Undergraduate text books that do a better job explaining survey research methods.

Given its price, the Survey Kit is a horrible waste of money. This is disappointing given the normally high quality of Sage products.

Review: I wasn't going to review this series, but I have to say the above review is completely off base. The survey kit was a very necessary tool for my graduate thesis... especially in cleaning up the mess that the original survey designers created by NOT using the kit. I will say that unless you have a need for the ENTIRE kit, just buy specific books from it (Try searching "survey kit").
