Do you have a "favorite" liner model text with a bit more exposition than MASS?

Even though this list isn't for teaching stats, whenever I can catch
some of the tried and true statisticians talking about texts on
specific subject matter, I like to take advantage of it to see what I
need to add to my amazon wish list to help sharpen the old saw :-)

Thanks,
