[R] Best Beginner Books?

[Christopher W Ryan]

I would recommend these for the absolute beginner with R:

"A Beginner's Guide to R" by Zuur
and
"Data Manipulation with R" by Spector

I have not seen this, but if their pattern holds, this one coming out
from Highland Statistics will also probably be useful for a newcomer:

A Beginner's Guide to Data Exploration and Visualization with R
Ieno EN, Zuur AF
Paperback available from November 2014
Harcover available from January 2015

So far, I’ve been recommended to read “Software For Data Analysis: Programming With R (Statistics And Computing)" by John Chambers. I’ve seen some other books mentioned here and there in the mailings, but I can’t recall their names. Does anyone have any though on this book, or others?
