Alas, there are no good books. I can recommend
sections from various ones, but there is nothing
that puts it all together. The best, is the first
part of Atkinson and Donev, which is at the right
level, but doesn't cover enough material. Scheffé
is very good, as is Kempthorne and Cochran and
Cox, but these are old books. Box and Hunter, and
Montgomery, are boring and ignore the importance
of algorithmic design. It would be a real
contribution for someone to write a good book in
this area.
