 Be careful buying this used, or even in a bookstore! December 8, 2009

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.
The DEFINITIVE GIS tutorial/reference guide July 31, 2009

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!

Very Helpful February 16, 2010

The GIS Tutorial Workbook for Arcview 9 is very helpful. You can learn at your own pace, granted it does take a while to learn (a few hours per section - including the exercises). Everything is layed out including side notes. I like how it says what to correct or how you can change back to the original settings, which makes this workbook a good future reference as well. The pages are not overcrowded, so you don't feel overwhelmed with information overload in one page. The material is spread out nicely and not too wordy. Compared to the online ERSI tutorials/modules, this book is really user-friendly, because the online ERSI tutorials/modules are very wordy and they give a lot of sale pitch language that I could do without. (It already takes a good deal of time to do the online tutorials; I don't need to be bogged down with rubbish introductions.) However, the GIS Tutorial Workbook gets right to the point, which I like. Thank you for such a comprehensive workbook! Yay!
Classrooms and individual study programs will find it invaluable March 15, 2009

Demands for effective GIS training are growing and this tutorial workbook has been designed for a wide audience of users, is offered in an easy step-by-step format, and can be adapted to a range of training purposes, from classroom use to graduate students seeking individual study. Scripted exercises begin with the easier step-by-step directions then move to exercises emphasizing performing GIS tasks without the step-by-step instruction. Classrooms and individual study programs will find it invaluable.
