Signed copy of Data Science for Dummies in postbox

After a short weekend trip to Texel (one of the dutch Islands) I found a signed copy of the book Data Science for Dummies by Lillian Pierson in my postbox. I am very happy and thankful for this. Today I will start reading and after finishing I will write a review on Amazon.
Thanks Lillian for the surprise 🙂
