Jack also asked for it to be "a big thick college textbook that takes at 
least a semester to go through, which should be a prerequisite for going 
through the Introduction to R available on CRAN".  That book (of which I 
am an author) is not big or thick.  But it is aimed at an audience who 
don't have programming experience.
