This is a fine textbook, but I am compelled to respond to the first review. Nondifferential misclassification unfortunately does not always produce a bias towards the null. See more recent texts for details.

Once upon a time this book may have been useful, but now this text is more than 20 years old and badly in need of a revision. You would be better off to read a more up-to-date work instead, such as the books by Rothman and Greenland, Clayton and Hills, or MacMahon and Trichopolos.
