The comprehensive book by Draper and Smith (1998) on applied regression analysis covers all these areas in much more depth and is well worth reading if you are involved with regression. StatSoft Inc.'s Electronic Statistics Textbook (www.statsoft.com/textbook/stathome.html) has a nice animated section on basic linear regression showing the danger of influential observations.
