How to Lie With Statistics
Author: Darrell Huff, Irving Geis (Illustrator)
Darrell Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way the results are derived from the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than inform.

A wonderful introduction to the misleading use of statistics in everyday life, especially in the media. I first read it in high school 30 years ago and re-read it several months ago. It is very clever and entertaining.
