Benford's Law

A friend of mine recently introduced me to Benford's law, also known as first digit law a few days ago. I had never heard of it until then, granted I'm not up on the majority of statistical probability laws, but I found it fascinating.

It made me wonder. I have a wonderful book, "Tables of Integrals and Other Mathematical Data" by Dwight Herbert (1961 ed). I used this book heavily in college and still hit it for reference every so often. Is there anything like it for statistical models specifically?

Thanks to Don for the Benford's Law intro too!
