A good book to start with

I am not a very begginer with sql server and I am familiar with some
concepts in sql server like DTS packages,Reporting services and database
objects .I'd like to start learning OLAP and data mining and I just wondered
if somebody can give me a path and introduce me a good book to start with.
Thanks
