I read this book for fun. Just kidding, but for those who might be looking for a research text I will say this one was written simply enough to be readable by all levels of students and still useful for higher level objectives.

I know this is a textbook but it still counts as a book. I had to use it for my research methods class. This textbook explains the concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, which I appreciate.

Meh. The APA style guide and any statistics book probably works just as well.
