"How to Get a PhD stands out in the field due to its breadth and comprehensiveness. Whilst studying for a PhD, I bought several of these types of books. I wish instead I had saved my money and simply bought How to Get a PhD. I would recommend this for any PhD students, for anyone thinking about studying for a PhD, or indeed for new PhD supervisors."David Wilkins, Senior Research Fellow, Tilda Goldberg Centre, University of Bedfordshire, UK
"A thoroughly useful book to recommend to students (and prospective students) to help guide them through the practicalities of achieving a PhD."Dr Russ Grant, University of York, UK and independent postgraduate teaching consultant
