Darrell Huff was a freelance writer who also worked as an editor at Look magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, and Liberty, among other publications. His greatest claim to fame, however, is the classic book How to Lie with Statistics, first published in 1954. Some say it is the most widely read statistics book in the world. Huff was not a trained statistician, his presentation of the topic can be charitably described as informal, and some of the illustrations in How to Lie with Statistics would be quite offensive if they were included in a contemporary book. Yet this slim volume has retained its popularity over the years; it is still in print and has been translated into many languages.
