I second all of Mark's points: drew my attention to features, especially
image packages/functions, packages designed to handle morph datasets
(e.g., .tps), etc. I do wish that the code was available online, as it
feels like a waste of time to tediously try to replicate what has
already been written. Also, last time I checked there were not solutions
available to the problem sets. I like to see others' solutions to
problems to compare to my own so I can see where my (or their) coding
can be improved.
Cheers,
Alex

Dear Rebeca,
I'd thoroughly recommend it. I use R but am not an expert and the
book drew my attention to a number of features, such as the image
handling and landmarking capabilities of R, that I wasn't aware of.
There's lots of code to use and modify to your own ends. One
drawback is that the packages featured in the book authored by Michel
Baylac haven't been released on CRAN yet and I haven't been able to
obtain them direct from the author. However the code these functions
is in the book so it's not much a problem.
regards
Mark
