Aug 17, 2012 at 21:13 comment added Michael R. Chernick I moved this from answer to comment since I am expressing my opinion about free books on the net rather than providing a a list of some. As both an author and owner of books I see both sides. I appreciate that most statistics books, especially when they deal with specialized topics are very expensive. However as an author who has put in a lot of effort to try to write useful and informative books I think the authors and publishers deserve remuneration for the efforts they go through to produce the books. So I don't think books should be free.
