Customer Reviews

Well Written4
This is probably one of the most best written software documents I've encountered. Descriptions of procedures are written in painful clear detail. Definitely well worth it for the new Arc View user.

The DEFINITIVE GIS tutorial/reference guide5
I used this book to learn the GIS software 4 years ago and found it so useful that I continue to keep it at my desk as a reference book. I agree that it is extremely well written, easy to follow, and contains loads of helpful hints. The tutorials start off basic enough for any novice, but cover the most advanced GIS analysis topics by the end of the book. The book emphasizes both pragmatic data collection and analysis, as well as creating attractive presentable maps. I recently upgraded to ArcMap 9.3 and bought the accompanying tutorial workbook, which has some valuable upgrades of its own. I would strongly recommend this series to anyone interested in learning the ArcMap GIS software (and let's face it, ESRI is the only GIS software developer for all intents and purposes), whether it is for classroom or personal use!

Be careful buying this used, or even in a bookstore!5
Be careful buying this used, or even in a bookstore! At my university bookstore this title is unwrapped and you can open the back cover and see the registration code that cannot be used twice, the code could easily be stolen by another student.

Buy it at Amazon(new only, not from 'other sellers') or directly from ESRI(as my Geography professor always recommends due to hearing stories about students not being able to use the software after someone stole the code). Best price at Amazon though. This title takes longer to get than many Amazon titles, so plan ahead by about a week and a half at least.
