This handbook is a good source for researchers who have used simple mixed methods approaches in their research and want to go beyond this level. The variety of articles in the handbook will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of mixed methods, gives example in different research areas and also discusses issues such as publishing of mixed methods studies.
Furthermore, the handbook will be a good source for students learning about mixed methods.
I can only recommend to have this book on your book shelves.

This book is probably the best resource for a graduate students practicing research and preparing for their dissertation. If you are a student with weakness in methodology or anyone who conducts research, I would highly recommend this book. As the title suggests it is a handbook to keep long after you graduate.

This is the core book for a post-graduate program on Designing Mixed Methods at McMaster University. The only other references we have for the course are a few examples of published studies. This book was easy to read (and most of the books in this area are not!). The chapters were ordered so that you could design your own research as you went through the book. The book is also written to be a handy refrence book for future research.
