I have not been able to get my hands on much since
someone has raided the local library and grabbed all
the R books on long-term loan but I have found that
there is some very useful material on the CRAN site
under "Other"
I have found An Introduction to S and the Hmisc and
Design Libraries by Carlos Alzola and Frank E.
Harrell very useful as is Simple R by John Verzani.
There are also some other intro tutorials on line that
might be helpful. One I found useful is
http://www.math.ilstu.edu/dhkim/Rstuff/Rtutor.html
I just recently got my hands on John Fox's book "An R
and S-Plus Companion to Applied Regression" and it has
some very useful discussions of data handling. Ch.2
and Ch.7 (on graphs) is useful.
