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. http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~larry/all-of-statistics/index.html http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~larry/all-of-statistics/index.html 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.
