Not a review, sorry, but a tip for potential purchasers:

This book is much cheaper from stata-press dot com.

Christopher Baum's "An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata" is simply the best econometrics text for applied economists I have ever read. It reviews most major topics in econometrics in a concise manner and shows how to treat these issues using Stata. In doing so the book also introduces a number of very useful commands, which you will find yourself using in all your regressions. Remember, however, that this is "An Introduction" and therefore other books will be necessary for a more in depth exposition of certain topics. Regardless, this book is perfect for both postgraduate students as well as researchers looking to re-familiarise themselves with econometrics.

This book gives a good overview of some of the commands one would need to do regression analysis with STATA. I needed something to give me a quick intro to STATA and this book has helped me a lot. Howver, just like MS Excel, STATA has tons of commands that I probably will never touch!
