Middle of the road...
I read this book as assigned reading for a Measurement and Evaluation course. After the sticker price shock...I started reading. The book is divided into 3 sections:

1) Introduction to Evaluation,
2) Tools of Evaluation,
3) Development of the Evaluation Plan and Implementation of the Evaluation

The text has LOTS of information on the history of program evaluation, and how summative evaluation came into being. It is heavy on theory, but there are lots of practical application parts as well. There is also an excellent chapter on ethical issues in evaluation.

If you're looking for a How-To guide on designing and implementing a program evaluation, then this text might be too much, and I bet you can find a cheaper deal elsewhere. If you're interested in more of the history and theory of program evaluation, this is your dream text.
