Maybe the best introductory statistical book for R, written by one of the originals developers. Short, concise and useful.

I found this a helpful guide in using R to analyze and present data for a paper I was writing. I stopped reading when the paper was submitted, and I don't have anything else to compare it against, but if you need to use R to some end, I'd recommend it.

Runner up for Best Introductory Statistics book

Summary Review: This is the classic book introducing basic statistics using R, and it is still a great book for this purpose, exceeded only (in our opinion), by Statistics: An Introduction using R (2005) by Michael Crawley.
