Discovering Statistics Using SAS
Hot on the heels of Andy Field′s best-selling Discovering Statistics Using SPSS, Third Edition (2009), the author has teamed up with a co-author, Jeremy Miles, to adapt this textbook for SAS® using the most up-to-date commands and programming language available in latest release 9.2. As with its sister textbook, Discovering Statistics Using SAS® takes the entry level student from first principles right the way through to advanced level statistical concepts all the while grounding knowledge through the use of SAS®. Its approach is to teach statistical concepts as well as the computational principles, commands and language of the SAS® software package in one textbook, and given this comprehensive coverage this textbook should be enthusiastically adopted on a wide variety of statistics courses.

A book people are gonna love or hate because of the informal, somewhat immature style (more elaborated on in some of the negative reviews of the other books in this series), but this one and the R version were pretty useful in at least getting a footing in the respective programs. You'll know pretty quick if it's a book for you or not though
