My son, a senior in high school, recently announced his latest book assignment for his English AP class. “I need Portrait of the Artist for my English class.” (Usually this announcement comes just after the stores have closed and when he needs it really soon.) Ah! I HAVE a copy of that book! It was a requirement for one of my college literature classes. Although I didn’t keep all of my books from college, I did keep the books that I especially liked, and this was one of them. The copy is dog-eared, the pages have yellowed, sections are underlined, and the spine is beginning to crack, but it’s still there in my treasured classics section. I proudly shared it with my son.

As a SAS or JMP user, you no doubt have your favorite SAS books. Maybe it’s one that helped you answer a pressing question. Maybe it’s one that included examples that you’ve used. Maybe it’s one you want to learn from one day. Which one(s) do you keep on your “classic SAS books” shelf for just the right occasion?
