Helps us see what we are looking at.
This book has a cute title and to an extent is true. However, it is more about what we perceive and interpret ourselves from what we read than an actual how-to statistics book.
I read the original and the 29th printing. There is a reissued edition out there. However, I am not sure of a revised edition.
After you read this to get a better perspective of the veracity of statistics and their usefulness (or not) you will want to read Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell on the Pepsi Taste Test.
