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 h

Thanks! I had not noticed that it was in paperback.
I guess that means it has been selling well, to someone.
My bookstore said $28.50 when I ordered it, a
Abelson book is in paperback for $ 25.

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
Alas the good books are always out of print. One
of my favorite authors, D. J. Finney, once wrote a
book on statistics for mathematicians. If you can
find a copy, it is well worth your time. Its topic
is experimental design, not general statistics,
but I think any mathematician reading it will
