About
This dataset contains online data for books from Amazon, along with user ratings and information about users who purchased them. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the building of recommender systems. It provides context on books read by users and the ratings they have provided, enabling the selection and recommendation of top books for each user based on their past purchase behaviour.
Columns
The dataset is organised into three distinct files, each detailing specific aspects:
- Books.csv: Contains descriptions of the books.
- Ratings.csv: Holds the descriptions of book ratings. Ratings are expressed either explicitly on a scale from 1-10, where higher values indicate greater appreciation, or implicitly by a value of 0.
- Users.csv: Provides descriptions of the users.

The dataset is provided in CSV format and is structured as three separate tables for users, books, and ratings.
