"I agree with the authors that this book is an excellent reference resource for experienced design-of-experiments practitioners."

The authors have been very active in research in this area in recentyears, and some of the othe rmaterial, chapter 8 for example, reflects this. A skim through selected parts of this book would make a good refresher course for anyone wishing to catch up on recent developments. It is an impressive volume that seems likely to become a standard text.
