Personally, I like Paul Hoel's "Introduction to Mathematical Statistics,"
published by Wiley. One of my undergrad math classes used Hoel, Port &
Stone's "Intro to Statistical Theory" & I really liked their treatment...
very dense with theory. Hoel's book is similar (if not a little easier),
but deals with more of the applied techniques (hypothesis testing, etc.).

Subject: Statistics textbook recommendation
I'm looking for a good introduction to statistics textbook. I'm
interested in reading it mostly for fun and to become more "well
rounded" mathematically. I have a B.S. in mathematics and took a
single senior level statistics course in college (but have since
probably forgotten a lot of it). I routinely read mathematically
rigorous texts, so a rigorous (introduction) to statistics shouldn't
bother me a bit.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.
