If
a) you already know some statistics
b) you want to use R as a tool in your applied statistical work
then
@BOOK{venables02,
   author = {Venables, W N and Ripley, B D},
   year = 2002,
   title = {Modern applied statistics with {S}},
   publisher = {Springer-Verlag},
   address = {New York},
   keywords = {statistics, general, software}
}
is worth considering. It is quite terse though (it is one of the few 
books I have which I wish were longer) and not so suitable if you are 
also learning statistics at the same time.
