I bought this book as required reading for a class. It's pretty clear and easy to understand, although I have the advantage that my professor is one of the authors. Concepts are explained well, with examples.

The major problem with this book is that for some reason, all the horizontal lines are missing from the equations. So there are no fraction bars, and it's really hard to tell where an average is meant, as opposed to a random variable. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone without a background in basic statistics, because the math would be nearly impossible to follow.

What a pity that such a high quality book could be ruined by terrible printing errors! I bought the reprinted April 2003 paperback edition. Nearly all equations are very difficult to read because of missing horizontal lines EVERYWHERE. Shame on the publisher (John Wiley & Sons). Did they fix this in later editions? I thought $30 was a good deal, but not so. Beware!

There are a lot of print errors in this book. Nearly all the equations are not right. I asked some other persons who also bought this book. This problem is very common. May you find a solution about this problem?
