4.0 out of 5 stars almost perfect, October 26, 2006
This review is from: A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates (Paperback)
Such a terrific reference work! But with so many terrific random digits, it's a shame they didn't sort them, to make it easier to find the one you're looking for.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy., July 27, 2005
By 
This review is from: A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates (Paperback)
The book is a promising reference concept, but the execution is somewhat sloppy. Whatever generator they used was not fully tested. The bulk of each page seems random enough. However at the lower left and lower right of alternate pages, the number is found to increment directly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I owe the happiness in my life to this tome, October 13, 2006
This review is from: A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates (Paperback)
I took a class in statistics in college. I used this book to help me select random phone numbers for a poll I was conducting for my class project. (The most popular household cleanser in the greater Siouxland area is Bon Ami, by the way.) One of those phone calls was answered by the woman who is now my wife. We've been happily married for ten years! Thank you, RAND.
