"…a massively impressive work of scholarship…" (Short Book Reviews, December 2006) "...a broad and in-depth book...covers not only classic but also up-to-date results and references, making it convenient for researchers. It is one of the very few advanced textbooks on experimental design..." (Technometrics, November 2006) "I suspect this excellent book will be used most often by specialists in design...the book's importance is largely as a reference for experts...or as an independent learning tool…" (Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2006) "I would expect HK to attain essentially the same stature and appeal to virtually the same markets as the 1952 edition." (Journal of Quality Technology, January 2006) "…the authors have done a commendable job in putting together the vast amount of literature that is available on the topics…of great value to students, and also to teachers and researchers."
