5.0 out of 5 stars
Most readable book on the topic,
This review is from: Elementary Survey Sampling (Statistics) (Hardcover)
As a survey research practitioner for nearly 20 years, I completely disagree with the above reviewers. There are plenty of terse textbooks on the topic where one can obtain derivations for formulas and drown in academic details. In contrary, this excellent book is one of the most readable references I have come across so far. Among a half dozen or so texts I have on this topic, this book is the first stop and in many cases the last stop when I need to look up something in sampling and estimation.

This book is a disaster,
By
This review is from: Elementary Survey Sampling (with CD-ROM) (Elementary Survey Sampling (W/CD)) (Hardcover)
This text is in its sixth edition and contains all types of errors. The text doesn't bother to even give the slightest idea of how expressions are derived. Many of the formulas are incorrect. Some of the exercises are absurd. The solutions manual is no better. My recommendation is that you buy either Cochran text if you're mathematically inclined or Yamane's Elementary Sampling Theory for a more hands-on text. Don't waste your time or money on this text.

Now superseded,

This review is from: Elementary Survey Sampling (with CD-ROM) (Elementary Survey Sampling (W/CD)) (Hardcover)
I have used this textbook and earlier editions in undergraduate teaching and in consulting work several times over the last 20 years. While I considered it only adequate, I could not find a suitable replacement for these situations (Cochran and Särndal et al. would be good for a graduate course).
I have now experimented with Sampling: Design and Analysis 2nd Ed. by Sharon L. Lohr Sampling: Design and Analysis (Advanced Series) and I have found that it completely supersedes Scheaffer et al. from all points of view. In my opinion Lohr's book and Survey Methodology 2nd ed, by Robert M. Groves et al. Survey Methodology (Wiley Series in Survey Methodology) create together an outstanding and up-to-date resource for the teaching and practice of survey sampling.
