I've been pretty impressed by the O'Reilly book on statistic: http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Nutshell-Desktop-Reference-OReilly/dp/0596510497/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UT

  I am pretty ambivalent about that book. It covers a lot of territory with pointers to deeper literature with a clear emhasis on using these techniques with a statistics program like SPSS (or R), which is nice, but it still wastes a lot of space printing intermediate tables for simple examples which don't do much except filling pages. But the real bummer is the editorial quality. There aren't any three consecutive pages without major typographical or editorial errors like missing parantheses in complex formulas or cases where they obviolsly replaced examples with simpler ones but forgot to change the illustrations together with the text.
