Whist the book was extremely useful to me personally, this would only be relevant to a small number of students on the MSc course, hence the supplemental adoption rather than recommended.

A very easily read volume, provides great tips all along the way from deciding your topic to dealing with rejection. The Exercises throughout the chapters are valuable for being specific to your own topic. As a guide on writing, it is really useful, with practical hints that early careers will find helpful.
