    One of my favorite things published of all time! Helped convince me to become a Statistics major when going into college.

    If anyone interested to listen to a podcast about the book https://nouswise.com/c/8a6439ca-fee7-4401-8ef3-b92a823cfd2a?...

    This is probably the best book on statistics you can give to a student of statistics.

    I was under the impression that it is now out of print.

    This book is still in print, why are you sharing a pdf copy?

      Corrected, thanks, though a 1954 copy, but a lot of copies online. A good one, nevertheless (i.e., something you might actually pay for a paper copy).

      Why not? Darrell Huff died in 2001, and under any respectable copyright system his work would have ended up in the public domain in 1979, or at least with his death.
