How to Lie with Statistics
New York: W.W. Norton & Company Inc., 1954.
First edition, first printing. (Stated "First edition" on copyright page, preceding copies with number lines instead.) 142 pp. Bound in publisher's red cloth with black spine lettering. Near Fine with a little scuff on the top edge, in a Good+ dust jacket, chipped along edges, spine sunned, closed tear to front panel, price intact ($2.95).
The uncommon first appearance of a classic illustrated introduction to statistics focusing on their misuse rather than their correct usage-- thereby luring readers who would never choose to read a dry text on the subject. The book remains useful, relevant, and enjoyable to this day.
