I'm looking to learn about Tableau to become an expert user. Other than online videos, can anyone recommend a book I can study?
Specifically, I would also like to learn about data modeling in Tableau.

The best way to learn Tableau, is to use all the tutorials available on the Tableau website, read the forums, go to public.tableausoftware.com and download any of the workbooks that have been published and see how they were built.
Despite the claims above that "VIA has authored the only Tableau training manual in the world.",by far the best book currently available, Is this one http://www.amazon.com/Tableau-Your-Data-Analysis-Software/dp/1118612043/ref=pd_sim_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=10HBTN1BGE0EAFMV1HRH written by Dan Murray, officially endorsed by Tableau themselves. It includes details on both Tableau Desktop, Server, case studies. As a reference guide it is superb.
