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.
