[R-sig-teaching] R texts

[Luis Orlindo Tedeschi]

Vanesa, I concur with "The R Book". I probably have 90% of the R free
literature printed in hard copy and I've read them twice at least. I
find "The R Book" excellent; and I anxiously waiting for the next
edition (hopefully with corrections and additions). Today, it is my
first choice to find for something in R. If I do not find it there
(which is not usual), then I look into other resources including R lists
and publications. Hope this helps.
