Bierens' [*Introduction to the Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Econometrics*](http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/economics/econometrics-statistics-and-mathematical-economics/introduction-mathematical-and-statistical-foundations-econometrics) is pretty rigorous in the mathematical basis of econometrics.

Argh, I just bought BOTH these books. They are in the mail.

That said, possible duplicate of this question http://economics.stackexchange.com/questions/4525/book-recommendation-for-microeconometrics-of-discrete-data

@Jamzy The another one question you pointing out seems to me too specifics instead of asking books with general topics like mine.

I thought that might be the case. Thought I'd post it anyway. Might have been useful.

What is a "quantifiable book"? And also what econometrics topics are you  interested in, and are not covered by the books you mention and with which it seems that you work well with?
