Summary: I love this book so much that I would ...
Comment: I see that *The Little SAS Book* is now in its 3rd edition. My experiences were with the 2nd edition. I used that version of the book a few years ago when I was doing intensive work with SAS.
This book was a life saver. I agree with the positive reviewers and disagree with the negative ones. Yes this book covers the basics - but that is EXACTLY why the book was written!
Take it from me, even though I used SAS for sophisticated data analysis (mostly financial econometrics) and regularly used more advanced features of SAS and higher level books and manuals, I still OFTEN referred to *The Little SAS Book* during my SAS programming days. With all due respect to its competitors (Cody's books, etc.), I found *The Little SAS Book* to be the most useful and the most often used.
I regularly recommended this book to those who were new to SAS and they always appreciated my recommendation.
I can go on gushing about how great this book is, but to sum up in an efficient manner how much I love this book, let me leave you with the following: If either Lora or Susan (the authors of the book) were ever looking for a husband, I would marry either of them in a heartbeat!

Summary: Good Reference
Comment: I don't think any one book can teach you to use SAS. You learn SAS by practicing with real data. With practice, this book because increasingly useful.
I bought this book when I knew very little about finding even simple statistics with SAS. At the time, it was not particularly helpful. Now that I know more, especially with the way SAS handles data, this book is great. I refer to it fairly regularly to remind myself of syntax.
The real key to learning SAS is learning how it organizes datasets. Learn to use 'libraries' (this book doesn't teach you that part).
However, I think most people trying to do real analysis will eventually outgrow this book.

Summary: Horrible simple book
Comment: I have programming experience but no SAS knowledge. So I bought this book according to others' recommedation.
After I read few pages of the book, I found out this book might be a good book for those who didn't know much about programming or for a quick look at simple syntax.
But it is a total waste of money to own it. Spend one hour in the bookstore to read is the value for this book, if you have programming experience in any other language.
It is a beginner's book for a simple tutorial.
