1: Getting Good In A Hurry
Coming in to my doctoral dissertation, I had a survey of 600 records and 18,000 data points, and I'd never taken a statistics course in my life. What's more, two of my committee members taught social statistics. When I passed my orals, both complimented me on my statistical analysis and presentation. I can honestly say that while my advisor pointed the way, this book got me there. I included the author--Julie Pallant--in my dissertation acknowledgments. This is THE book for beginners who want to get good in a hurry.

2: survival for the first-timers
this is a great book that is extremely easy to follow for the most ignorant novice. everything is printed out in pictures and written out clearly so it's also good for those less able on the computers. you'll read the book and wonder why you ever had to belabor extremely long equations that never made any sense or try to learn SAS language only to forget the next day.
This is an excellent source for beginners, but once you quickly learn the basics of manipulating the SPSS program, you may soon be prepared for a more advanced version.
In any regards, this is THE source if you're clueless and looking for somewhere to begin

3: First SPSS book you should buy

4: Extremely Clear and Helpful
This is one of the best step-by-step survival guides for statistical analysis I have ever used. Although it needs a little more detail on writing up the results of more advanced techniques like multiple regression, instructions are clear and to the point without a lot of extra "words" that just take time to read but do not add anything helpful. I have already pre-ordered 2 copies of the next edition!!!!

5: It Got Me an A on the Midterm
I was behind in class, I was not "getting it" and I was desperate! So I bought all the SPSS books I could find. Pallant's book is the one I used. Everything I needed to know and be able to do was clearly explained. The accompanying online database served as an example, showing me how to enter data. This book will not go on my bookshelf; it will remain on my desk through my dissertation and afterwards.
