The trouble is that Tukey's books are not necessarily "new school". In
fact, it is interesting to note that in his EDA book he spends time
explaining how you could use rulled paper to draw a graph as well as
similar tricks that were useful in the 1970's. Many of his subsequent
chapters dealing with fits are also completely out of date.

While Tukey is probably responsible for much of modern EDA, I'd recommend
using a slightly more updated approach as the starting point. This can be
found, for example, on the NIST site:

I also recommend (particularly for the examples):
