<h1>About the book</h1>
<div>
<img hspace="20" alt=" " align="left" src="https://i1.wp.com/pachamaltese.github.io/images/2017-05-11_text_analysis_with_r_for_students_of_literature/book_cover.jpg?w=456" data-recalc-dims="1">

<p>I obtained a copy of this book by Matthew Jockers throughout Universities’ access from <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319031637">Springer</a>. You can also get a copy from <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Students-Literature-Quantitative-Humanities/dp/3319031635">Amazon</a>.</p>
<p>This book is short and to the point. I would actually strongly recommend it to anyone interested in text mining and natural language processing.</p>
<p>What I do like the most about this book? That you can download the exercises from the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.matthewjockers.net/2013/09/03/tawr/">book’s website</a>. I downloaded the zip, extracted the folder and then created a RStudio project to the folder and that’s it. Then I could follow the explanations without needing to transcript the code from the pdf. Amazing!</p>
