Getting started with SAS is easy with The Little SAS Book. This friendly, easy-to-read guide gently introduces you to the most commonly used features of SAS software plus a whole lot more! The book has been revised to include concepts of the Output Delivery System; the STYLE= option in the PRINT, REPORT, and TABULATE procedures; ODS HTML, RTF, PRINTER, and OUTPUT destinations; PROC REPORT; more on PROC TABULATE; exporting data; and the colon modifier for informats. You'll find clear and concise explanations of basic SAS concepts (such as DATA and PROC steps), inputting data, modifying and combining data sets, summarizing and presenting data, basic statistical procedures, and debugging SAS programs. Each topic is presented in a self-contained, two-page layout complete with examples and graphics. This format enables new users to get up and running quickly, while the examples allow you to type in the program and see it work!

Seller ridiculously Slow by Emmanuel Addai 1 Stars
October 27, 2009
I can't believe after paying for shipping, seller mailed this book by snail mail. Seller provided me with the tracking number. Seller asked me to go to the nearby post office to help track this package. Postmaster told me that the parcel was mailed through the postal service snail mail system. Seller could have told me what postal service system he/she used. It took almost three weeks to get parcel. Apparently, I am disgusted with this sale.

This was a great book to read. I was very confused in lecture because I am not programming savy. This book really helped me a lot. Everything is explained in simple terms and makes so much sense.
