Booth, Colomb, and Williams. I have several faculty who've found it really useful. I like it because it also includes discussion of *how* to read, which I personally think is a skill that can't be stressed enough...sophylounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188858439852729115.post-89323422479629479552011-12-06T13:58:35.893-06:002011-12-06T13:58:35.893-06:00This question is relevant to miy interests so I wi...This question is relevant to miy interests so I will give The Craft of Research a look-see!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188858439852729115.post-18672573496414283322011-12-06T12:48:40.506-06:002011-12-06T12:48:40.506-06:00I'd just like to say thanks to Dame E for aski...I'd just like to say thanks to Dame E for asking the question.

Very accessible to students at different levels and aimed at the humanities in general with a lot of focus on the process of research. I have used it in a graduate research methods class (English) for 5 years now, and I get very good feedback from the students on the usefulness of this book.<br /><br />TravelliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
