The 2nd edition was one of the best books available at the time it
was written. The 3rd edition does _not_ bring the book adequately
up to date, neglecting such key topics as bootstrapping and
nonparametric statistical inference regarding the number of
clusters. The information on software is about 10 years out of date.
The book is also extremely small and hideously overpriced.

I feel obliged to mention these problems because I ("SAS Manual")
am quoted on the back cover as recommending the previous edition,
but that recommendation would not extend to the 3rd edition--look
for the 2nd edition in paperback and save yourself lots of money.
