useful basic data/error analysis text

I had to write a quick review of this text given how useful I found it when I was using it (fifteen years ago), and how off-base the only other review is. The text was originally published in 1965 and it should be viewed in that context. Nevertheless, the scope of the book, the clarity of exposition, and the usefulness of the tools described remains a fairly unique and powerful combination. Given the price, I highly recommend the book to someone needing to occasionally do solid but unsophisticated analysis of fairly small, somewhat noisy empirical data. If from this point one moves on to more sophisticated and/or formal texts, I think they will further appreciate the qualities of this text.
