In fact, I checked number of books on action research, but I
didn't find as easy to follow and clear as this one.

Don't think twice, whether it is your first time to do action
research project or the second, this book worth buying.

Warning: don't buy the digital version unless you can't
wait until your receive your copy of this book. last month
I bought the digital version and today I purchased the book
version.

Why? Because it is an excellent book that makes the action
research process painless, it drives from step to another
making sure you covere all the areas you need to consider
when doing your action research.

Finally, because I'm planning to do my PhD, I will need
something handy that I can flip easily while doing my
action researches.

Thank you JEAN MCNIFF, you make my life much easier!

McNiff and Whitehead are at the front of the field and continue to develop their own work. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to begin and develop their action research. The book I would follow with is Action Research: Living Theory which enables you to understand and work at the leading edge of the field as a practitioner-researcher.

If you are thinking of buying the Kindle version, I would recommend saving your money and purchasing the paper copy for a few dollars more. The formatting is horrible, as it was created for "Pocket devices", and it states that some content may have been removed to accommodate the PDA limitations. Whether or not this content was important, I couldn't tell you, because I have no idea what was removed... However, I can say, that when you pay 30$+ for a kindle book, you expect it to be of at least acceptable quality. Sorely disappointed.

[Update 01/12/2012] I purchased the paperback version, and I can now report that the current Kindle version based off of the Mobile PDA format, is horrible! Until they update it to a quality expected and required by Kindle users, I would recommend staying away from the Kindle format.

My review for the paperback version would be similiar to the other two 5 star reviews.
