Review: not worth buying
Review: Another reviewer of another stats textbook wrote "I'm guessing that when many people review a seemingly well written statistics book negatively, it's because they hate statistics and are blaming it on the book." There are some fiddly concepts in statistics, for example is the middle number up to ten: 5, 5.5, or something else? This book does a good job especially through its examples of helping the student to become competent in all the basic statistical techniques, and some of the more advanced ones too. It is probably not the best book for the most capable mathematical minds, but for the average good, committed student it seems to work. It is wordy, but not in a way that can't be read fast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by Z***G on March 6, 2018*

The most complete book on statistics that a beginner could read. They explain almost everything that could be explained and every aspect of statistical analysis is covered thoroughly. However, the book is a bit too wordy. The quality of the printing is very bad. I wish they publish a newer editions, in a better quality, adding some modern results, and more theory on advanced regression analysis, multivariate, GLM, multilevel etc.
