I'm a big fan of "The R Book" by Michael Crawley. Another source I really like is "R in Action" by Robert Kabacoff. He has also written the online guide "Quick R" (http://www.statmethods.net/) which I reference quite often for my analyses.

Stephen Corson

R in Action is another good book for a relatively light touch on all operations in R. I prefer it to the R book for quick regerence

Title:Introductory Statistics with R. Author: Peter Dalgaard.

This is my favourite book for R: even for a beginner is very helpful.

I strongly recommend to anyone who starts working with R.
