Customer Reviews & Comments
I purchased this book to help me with an Intro to GIS course. The book is very detailed in it's presentation of how to use ArcCatalog and ArcMap. At times,however, it seems that the author wrote it for someone who'd never turned on a computer. I found the first 150 pages to be extremely boring. Other times, my ArcMap 9.3 didn't match up with his step by step instructions and I had use my instructor as a resource to figure out how to complete the exercise. Overall it's a well written book but the mismatched instructions cause me to give it a 4 star rating.
