Re:Ask YC: Best book to learns statistics? by lliiffee on Thursday May 29, 2008 @02:36PM (#203528)
I strongly recommend "All of Statistics", by Larry Wasserman. It lives up to its title pretty well. It is very concise in its explanations of various topics. I like this, but you might want a traditional book if some topic gives you trouble.

Feller is a lot of fun, but a very strange suggestion for someone who apparently just wants to learn some statistics and get to work. Feller is for, like, reading by the fireplace with a glass of wine.
