Can you explain this sentence a bit more: "The best textbooks I've read where history of statistics and philosophy of statistics." ? Are these names of actual books (Google doesn't help) or merely the themes of the stats textbooks you benefited from the most? Thank you.

Not the above poster, but I concur, and recommend Jaynes' "Probability: the logic of science" for the philosophy and history, and "Breakthroughs in statistics" volumes 1 and 2 for the history as told through original foundational papers, from the 1700s on.
