"So for a book of diverse chapters, what is the recommendation? Would I hire this consultant, or suggest his book as a references Would I teach using it, or suggest it for self-study? Well, I might hire Thomas Pyzdek, for I fully believe he can teach people from his book. And I will use it for a reference. Pyzdek has demonstrated his depth of experience and taken care to list issues for the many techniques he has included here. The absence of student exercises limits the book's usefulness for self-study, but Pyzdek's stronger chapters are at a standard for which other SPC authors should strive." William D. Heavelin, Advanced Micro Devices Technometrics review, Nov. 1994
