Customer reviews

Total ripoff by .. Patricia Obryant (Texas)
This book slaps the face of anyone serious about saving money or the living the frugal lifestyle. Most of the tips are utterly common knowledge and some of them involve dishonesty such as confiscating office supplies afterhours at work and picking up coffee creamer and plastic utensils from the company cafeteria. Stealing is not frugalness. Save your money.

A Nonsense Book by .. M. Martinez ()
If you think you are cheap, do not buy this book. You'll be very disappointed for wasting $10. If you don't think you are, but has the goal of educating yourself of how to be cheap, do not buy it either. You'll be disappointed too, because it is full of ridiculous acts that do not really fall under cheapness. The book is filled with stupid things that even people classified as poor in this country don't do. They are more for desperate people who really can not afford anything, and who definitely cannot afford this book. The book is more of a mockery of people who just cannot afford anything.

The Cheap Book by .. D. Henning ()
I thought this book was a joke. A total waste of my money! My husband even read it and he thought the same thing. With all the great reviews I thought it would be worth the $10 I paid. Well, it wasn't. Don't waste your money on this one!!

not what I thought by .. E. Robinson (Pittsburgh, PA)
Wish I had saved my money. Thought I would get some useful ideas, but the book was filled with silly ways of being cheap.

Great Book by .. K. Yaedke (Prior Lake, MN USA)
This book is so funny i could hardly put it down. Hit really close to home having in-laws that do most all things in this book. This book would be a great gift for the cheapo in your life or even co worker.

A very short, fairly interesting review by .. C. Lund (New Zealand)
With strong endorsements from Avolio and Grint "A very short..." should be 'dog eared' and on top of your desk not clean and crisp in your bookshelf. This book is as relevant to business, as it is to the military, as it is to our sporting teams, as it is to those who pass through our universities.

Author : David Silverman Number of Pages : 168 Publisher : Sage Publications Ltd List Price : $79.00 Amazon Price : $79.00

Product Description

`Clear and incisive, this valuable text needs to be on every qualitative researcher’s bookshelf. What could be handier? I recommend it to anyone in the trade for its seasoned good sense and advice' - Jay Gubrium, University of Missouri

`David Silverman has drawn on his enormous experience in writing, teaching and using qualitative research methods to produce a book that lays bare key dilemmas and confronts questions that qualitative researchers often avoid' - Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University

This is the book which everybody doing a research project has been waiting for. Writing in an informal and accessible style, David Silverman offers the reader an entry into the broader issues of qualitative research that many textbooks gloss over - the underlying arguments of qualitative research and the key debates about its future direction.

Silverman shows how good research can be methodologically inventive, empirically rigorous, theoretically-alive and practically relevant. Using fascinating materials, ranging from photographs to novels and newspaper stories, this book demonstrates that getting to grips with these issues means asking ourselves fundamental questions about how we are influenced by contemporary culture.

David Silverman provides an antidote to the boring textbook, which is relevant to any degree course on research methods. Brilliantly written and always challenging and entertaining, this book will challenge your perceptions and help you think `out of the box' about the nature and process of doing qualitative research.

THE CHILDREN’S BOOK OF CHRISTMAS STORIES I. CHRISTMAS AT FEZZIWIG’S WAREHOUSE CHARLES DICKENS “Yo Ho! my boys,” said Fezziwig. “No more work to-night! Christmas Eve, Dick! Christmas, Ebenezer! Let’s have the shutters up!” cried old Fezziwig with a sharp clap of his hands, “before a man can say Jack Robinson. . . .” “Hilli-ho!” cried old Fezziwig, skipping down from the high desk with wonderful agility. “Clear away, my lads, and let’s have lots of room here! Hilli-ho, Dick! Cheer-up, Ebenezer!” Clear away! There was nothing they wouldn’t have cleared away, or couldn’t have cleared away with old Fezziwig looking on. It was done in a minute. Every movable was packed off, as if it were dismissed from public life forevermore; the floor was swept and watered, the lamps were trimmed, fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the warehouse was as snug, and warm, and dry, and bright a ballroom as you would desire to see on a winter’s night.
