“This volume is an extremely valuable contribution to surveymethodology. It has many virtues: First, it provides a framework inwhich survey errors can be segregated by sources. Second, Groveshas skillfully synthesized existing knowledge, bringing together inan easily accessible form empirical knowledge from a variety ofsources. Third, he has managed to integrate into a common frameworkthe contributions of several disciplines. For example, the work ofpsychometricians and cognitive psychologists is made relevant tothe research of econometricians as well as the field experience ofsociologists. Finally, but not least, Groves has managed to presentall this in a style that is accessible to a wide variety of readersranging from survey specialists to policymakers."
