For anyone looking for a DS primer, I have to say I was really disappointed with "Data Science from Scratch". It was all breadth with little depth. It felt more like a suggested list of topics to further research w/ other material.

I personally got way more value and insight out of "Data Science for Business" and would highly recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I like "Data Science from Scratch" for the same reason you dislike it :-)

Nice bookshelf page! It would be nice if you could somehow box in red, say, the best book for each year...
