From the reviews:

"This book claims to concentrate ´on the most important topics´ (of Statistics) and explain those ´as deeply as space has allowed´. ... in general, the book is quite easy to read, and the cross-references are useful. ... In all, it is a useful reference that should be found in many academic and corporate libraries." (Kimmo Vehkalahti, International Statistical Review, Vol. 76 (3), 2008)

"The aim has been to provide a short and concise encyclopaedia for those who do not wish to purchase any of the several large or multi-volume encyclopaedias in the field. ... I am inclined to see this as a library reference book for most scientists. Practising statisticians, particularly those teaching, will probably find this a useful reference book with its original references ... worked through mathematical aspects and worked examples." (John Goodier, Reference Reviews, Vol. 23 (2), 2009)
