[UFO Chicago] Book: Software for Data Analysis, Programing with R

[Gil Geek]

This might interest someone who is looking for a copy of  "*Software for 
Data Analysis*, /Chambers, John M., /ISBN: 978-0-387-75935-7 /cheap/.  
Contact me directly.  I want to get the darn thing out of my house.
**
My disclaimer:  In all honesty I must admit in trying to read "Software 
for Data Analysis" six months ago I felt like the guy who asked for the 
time and in response received a unnecessarily long and boring lecture on 
how to build a clock.  Not surprisingly this copy is like-new, pristine 
even, since it has hardly been read.  Probably the case of the reader 
and the book being at two completely different levels, since it seems to 
have received such high praise in other circles.
