I am searching for a good book to study and implement recommender systems. I tried to follow the recommender systems course offered at coursera but I could not work on it because I was really busy with other work. I want a good book to study and implement a full fledged recommender system. A book, because with that I can manage reading and working on it when-ever I want. Also, I want use mahout/hadoop in implementing it. So a book that will guide me through architecture using mahout apis step-by-step would really help.

Answer 1

I think the book you want is Mahout in Action. I'm a coauthor and don't mind recommending it to you since I think it directly addresses your points: Mahout APIs, Hadoop, steps to implementing a recommender.
