Fundamentals of Marketing Research Reviews

I'm writing to say that I just came across your marketing research text, and think it is a great book. I feel that the standard texts miss the mark, and I'm never willing to recommend one to my students. While I don't use a textbook in my teaching at London Business School, I will certainly be directing students to your book when they ask me about good marketing research references. -- Bruce Hardie
