What are the experts saying about this book?

 “If you have ever wondered where ‘SAS Experts’ pick up those little tidbits of knowledge that make all the difference, look no farther. They probably have been reading Phil Mason's In the Know: SAS Tips and Techniques From Around the Globe.

“The second edition brings the text up to date with SAS®9, and includes new options and techniques. It also includes some comparisons for SAS 8 vs. SAS®9.

“This book has something for everyone. It is packed with tips, from the obscure to the commonly used. Written in a fairly terse style, Phil’s book gets right to the point, and it gets there point after point. It covers topics that you don't know, topics that you don't know of, and most importantly it covers topics that you don't know that you need to know.”
