Robert,
I have Peter's book and I think it can be a very good place to start
from... dispite the discount... :)
If you like spatial analysis you can try to look for Roger Bivand et
al. "Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R", If you are into something
else try the "Use R" collection from Springer... you may find
something not that "pricey" that you can use.
Best regards
Carlos

Many. "Useful" depends on the reader, though, so look around. Here's
a starting point
http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html
(modesty should forbid me to point at item 18 on the list and the
fact that Amazon US has it currently 19% discounted....)
In general R books are cheaper than statistical monographs, but more
expensive than the large market computer science books.
and if the books recommended focus on S, how compatible will they
be for
someone learning R?
Such books are strongly outnumbered by now. One important book from
that group is Venables+Ripley's Modern Applied Statistics with S
explicitly addresses R issues.
thank you in advance for your help.
P.S.
specialized survey statistical procedures? Is R good at that?
Not R in itself, but the "survey" package for it is rumoured to be
state of the art, and its author has a book on it in its final stages.
