Ratings and reviews

I’ve always been an Art Carpenter fan. Every book he puts out is gold . I am glad SAS finally decided to use eBook technology, but Google Play needs lots of work. Page numbering if way wrong, table of contents is not complete, navigation is awful. This is my second try at a SAS book on this venue. Similar sad experience on both. It all just takes so much away from the author and the content. This secure eBook model just keeps failing over and over again. Go the Oreilly way and sell DRM-free ebooks. They have proven that if the content is rich, people will pay for it.

it's an advanced coverage in SAS , it gives more strength to the data techniques
