In principle it is impossible to write a method book that will be valid forever. In practice, David Silverman did just that. Adjustments in new editions only fine-tune the text that contains everything that a qualitative researcher needs to know. 

-- Barbara Czarniawska

This is an excellent textbook that gives students very practical advice of how to conduct qualitative analysis in a thoughtful way. Silverman′s vast experience within qualitative methods gives the text a clarity and overview that one can only admire. 

-- Nanna Mik-Meyer
An essential guide for anyone new to or brushing up on qualitative methodology.
