When I first started to use S-Plus in teaching, I used to recommend the small book of Phil Spector to newcomers to S and S-Plus, especially if they were to work under Unix. More recently, I changed my recommendation to the thicker book by Krause and Olson. It is best for an introduction to the language S, and to the functionalities (especially of the Windows version) of S-Plus. Advanced users can consult the book entitled S Programming by Venables and Ripley, however the bible remains the green book Programming with Data by John Chambers._________Rene´ A. Carmona
