This book is designed to simplify the process of data analysis using SPSS. The clarity of this book is established by the use of more than 200 screen shots, clear writing, and more than 500... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very good step-by-step book for conducting data analysis with SPSS. Even though I now have SPSS 12 and I think they are releasing version 13 soon, most of the instructions are still the same.

This book has been an essential tool for me, both for wandering in the world of statistics, and specifically SPSS. I've worked with the book from its earlier stages, and the consistency and updates are appreciated. It's an excellent reference for those who use SPSS regularly or casually. The book politely avoids labelling readers as dummies, but really, the book goes into very simple steps, as well as illustrations for a new user, but at the same time has shortcuts, and easy references for regular users. I'm not sure if the "Dummies" series has an SPSS manual, but I think that this book exceeds the "Dummies" series by being easy to use, follow, and read. A must have for any research. I've met with George, and this is a man that knows the methods and the program. No technical jargon, just simple straightforwards answers about SPSS. The only drawback...color would be nice, but of course, the price would increase...so don't worry about it.
