OK. Obviously not a book for everyone. But if I had to choose one statistics book to take with me on a desert island, this would be the one. (And I've co-authored a statistics book).

Deservedly recognized as a classic. One of the high points of my (professional) life was when I attended a Gordon conference in New Hampshire back in 1984, I got to swim in the same swimming hole with all three authors of this book. Sadly, Bill Hunter died not too long thereafter.

Only on page 46 so far but the overview of stats required for the rest of the book is good. My biggest gripe with it is that it is sloppy with the use of Greek letters. Nu and upsilon are thoroughly confused for example on pages 46-47. So it's a lovely book but one has to take care. I am reading it as it concerns DOE.
