I reviewed eight Tableau titles when I started out with Tableau a year ago; since then, there was a second edition of Milligan's "Learning Tableau", now there is "Tableau 10 Business Intelligence Cookbook" by Santos, and "Mastering Tableau" by Baldwin is just around the corner. All three recent books are from Packt. It looks like in a short while, the Tableau segment is going to be dominated by Packt just as the Qlik segment is now.And you know what - I will continue to recommend good non-Packt books over Packt "book products". In this case, why would you pay $50 for a visually unappealing book that simply walks you through Tableau features, when you can get more by viewing free training videos on the Tableau site? (On tableau.com, select Learning > Free Training Videos). 90%+ of "Tableau 10 Business Intelligence Cookbook" is this straightforward and low-value-added; there are 10 pages or so of more intermediate things - primarily, examples of Tableau expressions - but buying a book for them would be a luxury. The "Cookbook" is too basic to be an intermediate Tableau book, yet as a beginner's book, it is manifestly not fit for purpose. It seems that the titular "cookbook" reference simply provides the author with an excuse to run through examples ("recipes") without bothering about explaining Tableau concepts. Sorry, that's not teaching.My advice to a Tableau beginner would be: check out "Communicating Data with Tableau", "Tableau for Dummies" and "Tableau for Healthcare". (Do ignore the "healthcare" bit). All three are good, all three have different styles. Pick one or two which suit you. Milligan's book is worth a look, as follow-up, if you can get it cheaply.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
