Clocksin & Mellish has the benefit of being a slim volume, which makes it approachable.
Sterling & Shapiro (Art of Prolog) has much more depth. Not sure I'd recommend to a beginner. (It has a beautiful cover, though and is almost worth getting just for that.)
My favorite Prolog book is Pereira & Sheiber's "Prolog and Natural-Language Analysis". It's slanted toward NLP but the coverage of Prolog itself is top notch.

- tomcam 8y agoUh, the cover did not move me. Especially at $150
- fusiongyro 8y agoBuy it used, it's been the same edition for twenty or thirty years.
- Jtsummers 8y agohttps://mitpress.mit.edu/books/art-prolog-second-edition https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/art-prolog-second-edition That's the book they meant (referred to as having a "beautiful cover").
- nyankosensei 8y ago...and it’s Open Access, i.e. free download.
- mycl 8y agoHoly Cow, I had no idea. I have a physical copy, but now I can suggest this to everyone.
- pjmlp 8y agoThat was the best Prolog book I have read.
- abecedarius 8y agohttp://www.mtome.com/Publications/PNLA/prolog-digital.pdf http://www.mtome.com/Publications/PNLA/prolog-digital.pdf I just googled that and don't know if it's a legitimate source, but I've previously downloaded a copy from the site of one of the authors, so it's probably all right.
- fusiongyro 8y agoI thought I was probably the only person who read PNLA book, but it's absolutely fantastic!
