This is an expanded edition of the 1996 text.

Dobson, A.J. (2002) An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition, Chapman & Hall.
This text gives very a accessible account of the theory and is aimed at anyone who needs to use GLMs to analyse data.

This is the first major monograph on the subject; the notation and some of the methods are outdated but the data sets and discussions are excellent.
