"...a grand historical document for industrial statistics in its glory days, as its selection for the Classics Library implies." --Technometrics Vol. 42, No. 4 May 2001

This book provides an excellent insight into the minds of two master craftsmen at work. I very much applaud the decision to include this in a "classics library" and would encourage more authors to produce statistics books in the same vein, i.e. focused on the practical application of the subject rather than methodology development. Anyone involved in the analysis of unbalanced multifactor dtaa will find this book an extremely useful source of practical advice. --The Statistician 50 (1) 2001.
