Best Introductory Statistics book in the english language

My study habits and high school curriculum (early 1950s) did not prepare me for college calculus, so I was limited to taking applied statistics courses as an undergraduate (6 in all), all before the days of computers. I have used statistics all during my professional career and constantly searched for new books to refresh my memory or to learn new statistical techniques. Intro Stats by Velleman and De Veaux is by far the best text I have ever encountered. It is written in an easily understandable style, is well structured, and very user friendly. I recommend it highly.
