Great advice, even for a non fiction book [Posted on 2008-05-09]
I read this book to help me understand how to conduct case studies for a project I was doing, that eventually turned into a book. I did a pretty good canvas of other books about case study research and was impressed with the other reviews here on Amazon, and ended up buying this book as a result.

I used the advice from the book about preparing consistent questions and following a protocall throughout my research. This helped when I had to ask some pointed questions of some interviewees, if only to be consistent across the board. This work is accessible even to non-academics, who wish to use this research method to gather information. For me, the case study research for my project became the most statisfying part. In the end the case studies made the manuscript into something more valuable to the reader and therefore publishable as New Solutions for House Museums, by AltaMira Press in 2007.New Solutions for House Museums: Ensuring the Long-Term Preservation of America's Historic Houses (American Association for State and Local History)

Helpful for such a small book [Posted on 2008-06-16]
I was a bit surprised at the small size of the book, but it makes up for it in content. Currently an MBA student who needed some guidance on the specific nature of doing case study research for a research methodology course assignment. Highly recommended by the lecturer and the text is very helpful in outlining the differences in the approach needed for case studies.

Case Study [Posted on 2008-10-25]
Both books that I have received that are written by Robert Yin helped me immensely in re-writing my methods section in my dissertation. Since I was new to case study research and this section was the major flaw in my dissertation, it helped me complete an intelligible and methodologically correct research design and methods section. Excellent compliment to all of the case study research books by Robert Yin.
