Cartoon Guide to Statistics

Larry Gonick and Woollcott Smith
Revised and Updated 2015
HarperCollins ISBN 978-0-06-273102-9

This classic book presents the basic principles of statistics in a concise graphic format. The Cartoon Guide to Statistics is in Larry Gonick’s much admired Cartoon Guide Series, covering a range of subjects from Calculus to Environmental Science.

This Cartoon Guide covers nearly all the material in an AP Statistics course, or a first course in statistics at the college level. Also, graduate students, quantitative analysts and engineers have found the Cartoon Guide a handy review book.

You will find an evaluation of “cartoon style” statistics books in a review published in Chance Magazine.

The revised and updated edition is published in paperback and can be found at Amazon and other booksellers. The Cartoon Guide is also available as an iBook from Apple. Because of the cartoon-page layout the ebook is best viewed on a device with a larger screen, i.e. a tablet, iPad or laptop. The reader should note that the Amazon Kindle version of the Cartoon Guide is the electronic version of the original Cartoon Guide, and not the updated Cartoon Guide.
