Bibliography for linear models My main question: what bibliography would you recommend for linear models theory?
I'm thinking of acquiring Plane answers to complex questions: the theory of linear models, by Ronald Christensen. Has anyone here ever read it? What are the book's advantages and disadvantages?
Is the letter size reasonable? This might sound funny, but I'm no longer as young as I used to be, and small lettering makes the study of a subject more difficult than it needs to be... 
 A: I have read Christensen's books and would include it too.  Certainly you'd want to include the following (in no particular order).
