The S-Plus "Mustard" book

This is an *essential* tool for anyone using S-Plus. The book is well laid out, supplementing and complementing the manuals. In addition, the authors provide libraries that expand many of the routines in S-Plus. If you use S-Plus and do not program directly in S yourself, this book should be on your shelf.

good introduction to using S-Plus

This is a fantastic book on using S-Plus. I would have given it 5 stars had its treatment been given in a more clear way. Nonetheless the S language is well presented and many statistical analyses are sampled using S-Plus. In fact, this is also a strong applied stats book, with S code given for each topic.

the 'bible' for Splus users/lovers

this is the 'bible' of numerous statistician using Splus or R. Ripley and Venables are two of the builders of S/Splus and they're still involved in many projects regarding this topic. The second edition is very complete and make Splus computing easier.
