Written in 1954, it is a brief, breezy, illustrated volume which explains the errors that can be done when describing the results of statistical research, both intentionally and unintentionally, and how these errors lead to a biased or inaccurate conclusion.
 
Over one-half million copies have been sold in the English language edition. In 2003 the Department of Economics of [[Shanghai University]] published an edition in [[Chinese language|Chinese]].
The most recent edition — '''Mentire con le statistiche''' – is about to be published in Italian.
