First Course in Statistics, A (8th Edition)

Summary: Table , table, where's the table
Review: An annoying tendency of certain books is to provide so many tables, figures and examples that you get lost trying to find ex A figure 2.x or Table Z. This book excels in this regard. It would have been clearer if a single, global, numbering system had been used to refer to ANY AND EVERY example in the book rather than non-collated links all over creation. A simple pg. number IN ADDITION TO!!! the figure/table/example/chart/drawing - whatever-number ... would have sufficed.

Terrible awful stuff having to hunt down what you want mid-sentance.
