Reviews of the third edition:
This remains the best general…introduction to working on the PhD. It is well worth consulting by anyone considering the PhD as a route to take, either part-time combined with employment, or full time as a route into academia.
Social Research Association
This is an excellent book. Its style is racy and clear…an impressive array of information, useful advice and comment gleaned from the authors’ systematic study and experience over many years…should be required reading not only for those contemplating doctoral study but also for supervisors, new and experienced.
