December 03, 2003: As a graduate student I used the 2nd edition of this book. I enjoyed it then, but over the years I have found it a nice general statistics reference book. Explanations and exercises are clear and relevant to real-life applications. I lost my 2nd Ed. in a fire; now I'll happily try the 3rd edition--it's worth the price.

November 24, 2001: It's a fantastic textbook! I (and many-many others) have taught introductory Statistics using this book and have only good things to say! Statistics is often very hard for non-statisticians. But this book presents a great approach to explaining the fundamentals and key concepts/ideas of Statistics. I (and others) very often use that same approach when doing consulting work as well.
