Very good ordering experience

Ordering through this seller was a great online experience. The book came within a very reasonable amount of time, despite doing standard shipping. This was a very good purchase/ordering experience and I recommend this seller/sender to anyone!

A Big Help

This is an easy-reading book that will walk you through the writing process, and give you steps to keep you working towards your deadline, so you don't leave yourself too little time to do the paper.

like a guardian angel

Writing for school is very stressful and not knowing what is expected makes it even more so. This book was recommended by my professor who likely did not want to spend a whole class or two walking us through the process. This book is an excellent resource to give you the guidance you need to get your literature review done. As with anything, getting started is the hardest part, but once you start, this book will take you through step-by-step. Highly recommend.

Excellent resource for graduate students

This book is a step-by-step guide to the process of writing literature reviews. It is very thorough and takes nothing for granted. It is an excellent book that will assist students in turning out literature reviews that will earn them A's in graduate school programs.
