My Book I've written a book entitled Nonparametric Smoothing and Lack-of-Fit Tests, which has been published by Springer-Verlag . You can find out more about the book and place an order for it via the links below. Alas, there are a few errors in the book, which you can find out about here. I'd appreciate you sending me email (hart@stat.tamu.edu) about any other errors you may find.
