Chance and Stability, Stable Distributions and Their Applications (Modern Probability and Statistics)
I love this book. I could not find any other comparable book in English which gives so much information on stable distributions. All other books had too much maths jargon, while this is essentially a physicists book. It might have a few typos, but I did not mind it. The major defect is that there is no index.
