An excellent data mining book - If you are interesting to understand the principles of data mining in large corporate databases, then this book should be your first choice. It presents dozens of algorithms and implementation examples -in pseudocode- .The book takes the reader through the whole processes of knowledge discovery in large database, explaining each process in great details and answering why it needs to be done. The book has a good coverage of data preparation/preprocessing, association rules, classification and prediction, and cluster analysis. If you are looking for a book that covers advance topics in data mining such as time-series databases, text-databases, spatial databases, then, you need to look for another book that covers them in more details. However, this book needs to be in your bookshelf as the basis for understanding data mining in large database. In general, the book is easy to read with many diagrams illustrating the concepts. Also, it provides the reader with the current trend research areas in data mining.

Very Good - This is a very good book, with thourough explanationsAltough I initialy used as a classbook, I still found it useful for researching and application develoment. It doesn t assume any knowledge in this field but still is not boring for people already aware of data mining principles.
