I liked "Programming Collective Intelligence," as it fairly clearly introduces how the algorithms operate by implementing them from scratch.

I found the coding style a bit non-pythonic, though (two space indentation?), and in practice you'd be better served using one of the many ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn [1]), which aren't introduced.

The two space indentation is probably to fit more code on the page without softwraps.
