Is there a good statistics book that is the equivalent of Stewart for Calculus in terms of level and theory?

I am probably going to retake stat in the math department at some point (or not), but want to know if such a book exists. By and large, the stat books I have thumbed through are garbage.

go with a book on probability, that's the theory behind statistics

Probability? I don't want probability.
 
I took a statistics class last year and we covered a lot of things from really basic stuff to some mind-boggling intense stuff. The textbook that we used for our class was [bold]A First Course in Probability[/bold] by [bold]Sheldon Ross[/bold] (don't mind the name, its actually a book on statistics ). I haven't looked at a lot of statistics books, but I seriously loved this book. Very clear and concise. It is one of those books that you might actually feel like reading.

Umm, you expect to learn statistics without learning probability? Statistics IS probability, at least the non-grabage part is.
