Just saw a mention of _Handbook of Small Datasets_.  Does anyone know
if the data files ever got cleaned up and posted on the Internet?  I
bought this when I came out and the disk included files that seemed to
be created by cut and paste from the manuscript.  This meant that the
"shape" of the data matched a typesetter's needs rather than a
statistician's.  Most of the datasets needed considerable manual work
before one could hand them off to students.  (I DID find what appeared
to be the original disfunctional versions online.)  It's really sad
that a collection that was such a good idea on paper was so poorly
implemented.
