Very complete advanced introduction to statistics: 
Casella and Berger have written an excellent book on mathematical statistics, perfect for the first year graduate student. This book is different from other books (i.e. Lehmann) in that it has a thorough introduction to basic probability theory, for those who might need the review. The theorems in this book are more thorough and complete than in some other books (i.e. Bickel and Doksum). Unfortunately, this book is priced rather highly for those with a casual interest in statistics. However, if price is not... more info
Excellent introduction to mathematical staticstics, but...:
We used this one as text in the senior undergraduate course this semester. This book is an excellent introduction to mathematical statistics but probably too difficult for most undergraduate students to learn in just one semester.
In my opinion, to read this book you Do need a strong background in calculus. Having taken courses like real analysis, introductory probability/statistics is helpful but not so necessary.
Most difinitions and proofs are clear and precise. The examples are good, but the authors... more info
Probably the best book for a newcomer to statistics:
I found myself wanting to learn statistics and spent many hours browsing the stat books at the Stanford book store - and this book had it all. Some of the proofs are relegated to exercises and this is both fun and maddening! If you have a basic math background - a physicist or engineer equivalent - you will have no problems understanding the book. It's expensive - but you will have months (if not years!) of fun with it. There are many typographical errors in the book but many of them are found in the... more info
