"A good reference."

This is a great reference for machine learning. There are many figures and the treatment is clear and comprehensive.
To my knowledge, it is the best treatment available. It's not a perfect treatment, but at this stage in the field's development, there is no such thing. Very good for a 2001 book.
"Nice even for fair beginners"

First of all the reading gives overall positive impression both about the quality of material and the illustrations. Author explains pretty well the basic aspects and the text is easy to follow even for those not very confident with mathematics. As author claims, everything seems to revolve around Bayesian approach but this is his choice. I would recommend the book for graduate students doing their work in machine learning domain.

It's hard to figure out who would actually benefit from this book - it amounts to seven hundred pages of equations interrupted by blocks of text that fail to provide any intuition whatever for the techniques they are describing, and the occasional graph which is remarkable in the universe of graphs as being scarcely more informative than the equations it is meant to illustrate.
Seriously, you have to wonder wtf Bishop thought he was doing here. As a catalog of equations for people who already thoroughly understand the learning algorithms I suppose the book can be considered adequate. For any didactic purpose you're wasting your time - you can find dense, technically correct but incomprehensible descriptions for any of these methods online, for free. A textbook ought to aspire to more - should bring some order to the chaos, re-tell a technical story in a new light to make it more sensible and intuitive. This book is so bad in these regards that it makes me angry.
On a related note, I can't believe that Duda and Hart is still the best machine learning / pattern rec. book on the market after thirty years or whatever. This field is dying for a book by someone with even an INKLING of how to teach, or at least willing to make an effort to try.
Christopher Bishop really knows his stuff and it is obvious by using his book. I just wish he would follow up all of his math with a clear algorithm for implementing the techniques presented in his book.
"one of the best books in the field"

this book is one of the best books in the field--machine learning. this is the textbook that is used in most of the renowned university, and it qualifies for it! the contents are abundant, and full explanation and exercises will lead you into the field.
"Good seller."

Condition matched with the description. Responded quickly to an email regarding the shipping dates. Would have liked different options for shipping but would definitely buy again.
