This is just a brief note to let you know how useful I have found your text, A Step-by-Step Approach to Using the SAS System for Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. Yours is the only book I have encountered that deals so directly and simply with the points of confusion that arise in factor analysis. The words, phraseology, and illustrations that you use will become part of my vocabulary when I write up my analysis or explain my work to clients and coworkers who do not have a statistical background. The book is truly step-by-step and will make it easy for me to guide the work of others should the need arise. --Bob Gerzoff, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta
