Since we're on the topic of book reviews, I just received Phil Spector's
new R book called "Data Manipulation with R" and it is also quite a
nice book. I haven't gone through it all and I won't give a detailed
review but I have gotten a lot out of the first 100 pages that I have
read.
Note that I've been using R for almost 1.5 years so , for me, it's a
really useful book. For someone who's used it for longer than that or
is just really, really great at using R in an efficient manner and knows
all the neat tricks already, they of course may not need the book.
Great job Phil.

Sorry.
I received a very exciting email from Springer and placed my order and
felt compelled to advertise it. Didn't see any previous postings about
it. Hope no offence taken!
Best wishes, and well done with book. Looking forward to receiving
it...

Yes, it's been out since March 12, actually.
I just finished
my first reading of it, and I must say it was spectacular.
Congratulations
Deepayan, the book gave me exactly the kind of lattice knowledge I
needed,
and then some. The graphics are really impressive and good
illustrations of
what lattice can do, and I found the writing very clear, with the
complexity
increasing at just the right speed. I definitely recommend it to
anyone who
wants to learn how to use lattice, at any level they desire.
Thanks for the great review :-)
As Karl mentioned, there is a website with code and figures from the
book at
http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/
I also hope to eventually write some short vignettes on topics not
covered in the book, and put them up here. Feel free to suggest
topics
to me. And of course, please report any typos and errors.
