[The authors'] considerable experience of using diary method in health and social care research, together with the many practical examples drawn from up-to-date and diverse literature, makes this an enjoyable and authentic read, as well as an important contribution to the literature ... Bartlett and Milligan have raised the profile and value of diary method as a versatile research tool. The book is an excellent starting point for academics and students who will be inspired by the many practical examples. It is also an ideal reference text for those wishing to incorporate diary method into research methods courses ... [and] has much to offer those in health and social research. I will be recommending this book to my students and colleagues.

Gives an excellent overview of how solicited diaries can offer researchers new insights into people’s experiences. A welcome addition to the research methods literature for anyone involved in health and social sciences research.

First easily understandable book on diary method, which comprehensively explains how to do it practically. Perfectly suitable for undergraduates. Easy to follow and good step-by-step instructions. Great chapters on sensory and audiovisual approaches and mixed methods approaches, they really add great value to the book.
