1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, Poor Quality, June 4, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conceptualizing and Proposing Qualitative Research (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is the poorest quality book I have ever seen. Many pages are hard to read; almost like a dot matrix printer which is running low on ink. Additionally, after three weeks of use, pages three thru thirty FELL OUT!! I take care of my books and have NEVER had this happen! The material itself is good, but it is just a level of quality that I would never expect from a major publisher.

1.0 out of 5 stars Knock off, July 23, 2011

Idilian (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conceptualizing and Proposing Qualitative Research (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is a knock-off and not the real thing! Shame on Amazon.com for selling Black market books! This is an obvious photocopy of the original! Who are you buying this book from? Obviously, I am not the only one complaining about this problem. DO NOT PURCHASE this book from Amazon.com, or any of the links that would bring you here, or you will get ripped-off as we were. If I could, I would have given 0 stars!

1.0 out of 5 stars Loose Pages, Poor Quality Print and Information Presentation, July 13, 2011
By 
Lamour (Canyon Country, US, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conceptualizing and Proposing Qualitative Research (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Not only was the book poor quality, but in some cases I felt the information was written in a way, that I had to go back and reread, asking myself "what did this say?" Of course, that could have been related to the poor print quality. On other pages, it was grey and white. I am only on chapter 3, but since I wear glasses also (bi-focals), this is such a chore to read this book. I only purchased it because it was a requirement for classes I am taking. Also the font was too small for me. I am having difficulty getting into the book's content, and will use it only minimally. The pages started to come loose beginning with the preface. So it is not a book, but loose pages.
