Really good as far as textbooks go. Clear explanations of statistical tests and where they are appropriate.

Definitely has a spot on my work reference shelf.

Very student friendly. Step by step approach. End of chapter problems are a must if you wanna excel at this excellent subject.

Not cool that AFTER I purchased the book, I learned in reading through the table of contents that the appendices were not available in the Kindle edition. This was very unfortunate, since some of those appendices contained value tables for various test statistics. That made the reading and the practicing very disappointing as an overall experience.
