Recommended Book: The Complete Book of Data Anonymization

I was getting started to search for information about data anonymization and preparing to took a time to do “yet another internet search” for information sources; until I happened to find this book. I was positively surprised that it did not go into details of anonymization theories, but stayed on a pragmatic approach suitable for managers. After reading this book, it is easier to take the next step!
