I wanted to like this, but much too much got in my way. This book follows another, more introductory title in the same series by the same authors. But, instead of standing on its own, this refers back to the first book so often that it reads more like an appendix than a separate title. The authors point readers to many software packages for handling factor analysis. Ignoring the fact that 1978 (the copyright date) software is of limited interest in 2013, the authors seem to use those references instead of clearly developing and explaining the algorithms in ways that tool-builders would need. Unfortunately, my interests required the kind of detail these authors omit. Then, I don't want to fault a book for the date it was written. But, based on the book's references, it appears that factor analysis was a topic under active development back then, so its bibliography will look small and stale to a contemporary reader.
Since this lacks both the conceptual introduction and also real depth of development and analysis, I really have trouble imagining the reader that this would serve. Whoever that reader is, it's not me.
