If you only need the buying answer

The current listing at $94.53 is slightly above the sampled AbeBooks used price of $90.57 and the sampled AbeBooks new price of $91.59, but still below the sampled marketplace high of $129.00. That means the current route is realistic, but not the lowest visible option. It makes sense mainly if you want a straightforward buy from the current listing rather than hunting for the absolute minimum elsewhere.

This is not a disposable stats text. It is the kind of book readers buy when they want a dense reference that keeps advanced theory, examples, and R application together in one place. That means ownership can be reasonable even when the current listing is not literally the cheapest point in the market.

What this book actually teaches

Advanced Statistics with Applications in R is designed as a serious reference text for readers working with advanced statistical ideas and applied examples in R. Its value is in pairing theory with worked application rather than separating conceptual discussion from computational use.

That is exactly why this book often outlives a single course. Readers may come back to it when methods, inference, or modeling problems return in research or graduate study. In that setting, the decision is less about finding the absolute cheapest copy and more about whether you want a dependable long-term reference.

When print is worth keeping

If you want the absolute lowest visible price, you can find slightly cheaper sampled options. If you want a straightforward purchase of a book likely to stay useful for a long time, the current listing still sits in a reasonable part of the market.
