I was very impressed with this book it goes into a lot of details but gives a great high level overview of the tabular model as well. I found that the examples were really good in Excel and easy to follow. The advanced topics were really good going through the DAX language and how to query the tabular model. I like how they incorporated the Power View Visualizations to show the power of the data using the tabular models. They did a great job showing the difference from individual models in PowerPivot and Server Side models in SSAS. Lastly this book does a wonderful job at showing the maintenance of the tabular models where the administration comes into play like deploying models and security.

I was really impressed with the Microsoft Tabular Modeling Cookbook. The book nailed Power Pivot and does a good job of covering Power Pivot with SSAS Tabular too.
