2.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for a graduate level thesis, February 2, 2007
This book may be useful for someone writing their first high school or undergraduate paper, but is not going to be useful to someone writing a graduate level thesis.

This book covers basic research methods (like how to find a book in a card catalog), directions on note taking, and a good portion of the book is devoted to citing resources and quotations in MLA and Chicago documentation styles. If you have had an academic background that required a lot of writing none of this information is going to be new to you. Additionally, these documentation styles can be freely researched on the internet for a quick refresher.

This book is also quite dated, pointing out that the final manuscript should be typed and not handwritten, and advises "The typewriter should be in good working order. The ribbon should retain a sufficient amount of ink for a uniformly clear imprint..." Surprising, considering this book's most recent edition was published in 2003.

Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you want to write a good thesis, June 19, 2006
I just recently wrote my bachlor thesis, and when I was starting to get prepared I had no idea what to do or where to go, so I ordered this book. Wow, one of the better idea's I've had in a long time.

Overall the book was very well written and easy to understand, you get plenty of information from the start to the end. You get to learn how to make proper and organized notes in a way that later on when you get to the writing phase its so much easier. Honestly I used the book so much while writing my paper - it was so useful at ever step.

I am not one of those to use these kind of books, but this one I really think was so helpful and I recommend it to anyone who is about to write one of the most important papers of you student life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Guide, April 5, 2009
I found this book useful when I wrote my graduate thesis. I had written essays and term papers for undregrad/graduate work, but had never done anything over 7000 words. This book basically helped me get organised and proceed in a systematic way, essential when writing anything over 10 000 words.

It is geared toward the undergraduate thesis, but the techniques provided are still useful for any major paper.
