Darrell Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way the results are derived from the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than to inform.
A hilarious exploration of mathematical mendacity.… Every time you pick it up, what happens? Bang goes another illusion!
