My PhD student Sally Lee is doing some research on the sort of 
advice given to medical researchers regarding statistics. She has 
put together the following list of titles. (We are really loking for 
books for the practitioner and some of the titles below are not  
relevant but she has erred on the side of inclusiveness.) 

We should be very grateful for suggestions to add to this list.
