I've been enjoying the struggle through Statistical Inference by George Casella as a foundational text. This was the introductory text for stats graduate students at Arizona State University a few years back.

The Mathematical Methods of Statistics by Harald Cramér is also excellent.

+1 to this, I'm a big fan of Casella. I personally think it's most useful as a reference, moreso than a textbook.

Is that the same as Casella & Berger? Nice Sherlock Holmes quotes at the beginning of each chapter.
