Summary:

With more than 400,000 copies now in print, The Craft of Research is the unrivaled resource for researchers at every level, from first-year undergraduates to research reporters at corporations and government offices.
Seasoned researchers and educators Gregory G. Colomb and Joseph M. Williams present an updated third edition of their classic handbook, whose first and second editions were written in collaboration with the late Wayne C. Booth. The Craft of Research explains how to build an argument that motivates readers to accept a claim; how to anticipate the reservations of readers and to respond to them appropriately; and how to create introductions and conclusions that answer that most demanding question, “So what?”
The third edition includes an expanded discussion of the essential early stages of a research task: planning and drafting a paper. The authors have revised and fully updated their section on electronic research, emphasizing the need to distinguish between trustworthy sources (such as those found in libraries) and less reliable sources found with a quick Web search. A chapter on warrants has also been thoroughly reviewed to make this difficult subject easier for researchers
Throughout, the authors have preserved the amiable tone, the reliable voice, and the sense of directness that have made this book indispensable for anyone undertaking a research project.

Research guide that's fun to read!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I was required to read this book for a class. I expected it to be relatively dull. It's not. It's a wonderful, straight-forward, humorous and enlightening introduction to "the craft of research." These authors have tremendous synergy and a wealth of experience among them. They write in a youthful and friendly tone, but with the incisive wisdom of elders. This book should certainly be a required read for any beginning researcher.

Good buy
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I received it on time and, though I haven't read it, I skimmed it and it looks very interesting

I Wish This Book Had Been Mandatory Reading
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I wish this had been mandatory reading for my first-year expository writing class. This book is a repository of things your teachers ought to have told you about gathering research, presenting research, and writing arguments.

If you need to do academic research and don't know where to start, or you don't know what to do next, or you are just reevaluating your work strategies, buy this book. It will not disappoint!

The Craft of Research
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

This book is an acceptable book for those who have no experience in conducting a formal academic research whether for the Master or PhD's degree. Personally, I do recommend this book for those who have not started their master's or PhD's degree.

Great book for the beginner researcher or undergrad who needs help with understanding research, especiallly the first 4 chapters
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This book has been a wonderful help, easy to read and understand. I am working on my dissertation and need help with writing my comprehensive exams and my project proposal. I had so many questions and this book was recommended by someone on my committee. What a life saver for me!
