It looks like an interesting book. Anyone have experience with the ebook version? Does it hold up with the illustrations, or should I hold out for a hardcopy?
Can you recommend some other books that are good introduction to analytics/data science? I often get asked for recommendations, but can't seem to find something suitable for beginners.
Dickrolls to be avoided if possible, but secretly kinda wishing...

I have the ebook version, it's fine if you're ok with ebooks for this sort of stuff.

I unfortunately don't know too many others. I have this book as well: http://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Science-Algorithms-Se... and because I'm so far removed from any academic math study now in my life, by about page 3 I was lost.
My plan is to dive into Linear Algebra and Statistics book and courses first before I head into ML again.
Doing Data Science is a pretty good intro. http://www.amazon.com/Doing-Data-Science-Straight-Frontline/...
More on the presentation of data, but I like Stephen Few's work...
