This is a simple and easy-to-read introduction to the basics of Bayesian statistics, for someone with some previous exposure to statistical methods and theory. Lee does not try to do too much with this book. It's not too taxing on the brain, uses simple and easy-to-follow notation, and has a helpful appendix of common statistical distributions. I like the emphasis on conjugate priors, which are the mathematically most tractable Bayesian models that are often not treated fully in other texts. (Someone still needs to write the definitive text on conjugate Bayesian models.)
The book is limited in scope, a strength if you're just getting started on this topic, but will frustrate once you get into this stuff. There are plenty of other good books that go beyond the basics once you're ready.

Although only the second edition is listed, I have read only the first 1989 edition and my review is for that edition. Lee wrote this book with the goal of teaching an introductory course in Bayesian statistics to his students at York University. He wanted a text that was more mathematical and deatiled than Lindley (1965) but not quite at the level of Box and Tiao.
This text achieves that goal. It was published at the time when MCMC methods were only starting to be appreciated. So the wider use of general prior distributions and hierarchical models does not yet enter into this book. I would assume that the second edition published in 1997 was written to remedy this shortcoming but I have not seen if it does.

But for the time it was a good intermediate text.

This book has a clean selection of materials as an introduction to bayesian statistics. It is quite readable. Two problems however: 1) the formula derivation and reasoning often have intermediate steps skipped. You need to think for a while for derivations and his texts. In particular, you need to figure out by yourself which theorem or previous results that the derivation is based on. 2) typos. the 3rd printing still has typos not listed in the author's page, not too many but not trivial either.

Anyway, I still recommand this book because no better introductory bayesian book found yet.
