Data mining textbook

Question

If you followed a DM course, which textbook was used?

I know about Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques (Second Edition) and this poll. What did you effectively use?

Answer 1

I have been pretty happy with Introduction to Data Mining by Tan et. al.

Now, I did not actually read it as part of a course, and I have only read the two chapters concerning association rule mining. Three sample chapters are available on the book's homepage, so why not take a look and see if you like it?
