From the reviews of the second edition:

„This is a great book on the analysis of cross-classified categorical data, particularly for non-statistical readers. The need for analyzing cross-classified categorical data has been growing rapidly … . The loglinear models and maximum-likelihood estimates discussed in this book are very helpful for practitioners to get hands on categorical data and perform sound analyses. This book is comprised of 8 chapters. … is a useful book and I recommend it to data analysts in practical and academic fields.“ (Zhen Mei, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1134 (12), 2008)

„This Springer edition is a reprint of the first edition published by MIT Press in 1977. … this a useful resource book for applied statisticians with good theoretical background.“ (Technometrics, Vol. 50 (4), November, 2008)
