It depends on the level; one should not take a course at a low mathematical level first, preparing to take what must be a beginning course at a higher level later. I recommend the second edition of Bickel and Doksum, which is not the same as the first edition. The coverage is much better than others. More formal and classical is tha book by Hoel, Port, and Stone. -- This address is for information only.
