Newbold's 'Statistics for Business and Economics' is a mainstay in the LSE academic collection and for a good purpose. It provides a highly-detailed, comprehensive introduction to Statistics from the basics of data representation up to fundamentals of decision theory. Although at times it is a little technical and dry, there are plenty of illustrations, explanations and examples that should made the statistical concepts come across clearly. There is also opportunity to practice the exercises along with a statistical package (such as Excel, SPSS, Minitab etc) and a folder of data for doing so.
The only real criticism I have is that you will need to access the solutions manual separately to this book as it only contains answers for half of the exercises
