Missing item 
The book is great and definitely saved money buying used. However, my book is missing the student CD-ROM which I need for class. That was disappointing.

Great Computer-Based Examples, Just Okay Otherwise 
This book does a great job of teaching you how to do statistical computations using StatPad and MS Excel. But, it is not very good at describing fundamentals. It left students in my MBA program who haven't takin' stats for a long time lost. I understand it is generally used by business schools, particularly MBAs.
One thing this book has over any stats book that I've used is: a friggin' TON of practice questions. It will boggle your mind and, if you do them, you'll know stats like the back of your hand.

Good and gentle introduction to statistics 
Prof. Siegel's book is a great introductory text for business graduates with little prior exposure to statistics. The text covers many of the basic topics in statistics and ties them nicely to real world cases and problems.

Mediocre. 
This is not the best book on the subject. There are many other superior books to this one. I still keep it around as a descent reference on statistics, and occasionally get something out of it.
