See the R FAQ.  Nolan & Speed (2000) is excellent at its level, but
`statistics' is a large field and it may not be what you want.

Personally I found the following two books to be quite useful:

1. S Programming, by W.N. Venables and B.D. Ripley

2. Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus Third Edition,  by W.N. Venables and
B.D. Ripley


Both are under the "Statistics and Computing" series.  Both are
targeted at S/S-plus, however they can be used for R programming.  If you are
interested in programming then John M. Chambers's "Programming with
Data, A Guide to the S Language" is also good.

Number 2 above is more suitable, in my opinion, for teaching statistics using
R/S-plus.  Number 1 above is more for programming.

Hope this helps,

Ko-Kang Wang
