Text Book Purchase 
Excepting the fact that I had to wait a little longer for shipping, (Supersaver), the book arrived on the date it was slated to arrive. The book was in excellent condition, with CD and all.

Not good for a beginner - ok as a reference
This book was used in my grad level intro biostatistics course some months ago- for an intro course (or at least for my learning style) it just didn't work and I had to find alternate resources for almost everything I was studying. (Note that I heard the same or similar from a few of the other students in my class in informal conversation).
I think they were trying to be innovative with how they arranged it - but, at least for me, the material didn't build logically and I kept jumping back and forth... more info

this book sucks 
As a grad student required to take a Biostats class, this book sucks. I like that real examples from the literature are used, but one cannot learn what is needed for real life from this book. And no one uses NCSS in real life when analyzing data.

Try another book
I had to purchase this book for a class I am taking. This is a fourth edition book and I have to correct errors before reading each chapter. I give publishers some leeway on a first edition, but by the fourth the kinks should be worked out. Also, there is some crucial information missing when making the calculations and sometimes it does not give enough detail on how to work through the problems.
