This is a textbook. Very useful even though this is for version 21 which they don't sell anymore. SPSS 22 has several changes in which I had to find a patch to work some of the items.

Decent introduction to SPSS for new users, but can be hard to follow at times and doesn’t always seem to be in the best order from a learning standpoint.

Pretty helpful by way of navigating through SPSS and when to use specific statistical analyses.
