A good reference, once you know something about SEM

As a student of Dr. Kaplan's, we used this book as a way to remind us what the loads of greek symbols scrawled across our notes actually meant. While not written to be used with any specific program, I find the book to be a great reference when I haven't used SEM for a while and need to be reminded of some of its nuances. If you are trying to learn SEM, I suggest you get a book specifically written for the program you plan on using first. Once you understand the basics, this book comes in handy. Also useful if you have a burning desire to understand the barebones behind what SEM is and the math involved.
