This review is from: Statistical Analysis of Nonnormal Data (Hardcover)

I am really unimpressed with the quality of the binding of this title, which is not typical of most Wiley textbooks I own (this one is actually printed and bound by WILEY EASTERN New Delhi, India). It has a fairly strong, irritating chemical smell that is giving me slight headache even as I type this. The pages seem as if they are about to drop out of hard cover because the spine appears to be substantially wider than the number of pages inside. (the book, when open, definitely lays flat). The paper is not very opaque. The text lettering is not crisp (almost as if printed with an ink jet printer). Some pages are printed lightly, others pages are printed darker and a bit blurry. Given the large number of minor flaws, I'm skeptical this is a fluke and for the list price and year of publication (1995), I think the book should have seen much better quality control.

The text comes with a "statistical program package SAND" written in GWBASIC that runs on MS-DOS machines. However, the diskette is the large 5 1/4" 360Kb floppy, making the software virtually useless to many/most users in the US. Again, for the price, this is inappropriate. The authors' work appears to be a fairly admirable attempt, but the smell keeps me from concentrating on it closely. My copy will go back, but I hope a future reviewer with more patience than me can give the actual contents more thorough study.
