All of Statistics by Larry Wasserman is the book I recommend for anyone who knows calculus and linear algebra and wants to learn statistics.

Came here to post this and “Advanced Data Analysis from an Elementary Point of View“ by Cosmos Shalizi
Cosma Shalizi. I think your post got mangled by auto correct.

I just wish this would come out in paper book. It’s excellent but I have difficulty reading math books online.
Supposedly in process. From the book's website: "The book is under contract to Cambridge University Press; it should be turned over to the press [...] before the end of 2015." But it sounds like that was after a few delays already, so maybe there have been more.
You can print ebooks.
Yes, I loved this book! It’s compact enough that you can really get a flavor of things very quickly.
Amazing book. It has an ambitious title, but it really lives up to it. I just wish I had read it years ago.
