GIS is an amazing program and the book does a great job teaching you how to do almost everything.

BUT, the software isn't compatible with Windows Vista or Macs - which is a huge inconvenience for me.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 22, 2007 Type: User Review Another winner from Burke and ESRI Press

ESRI Press and Robert Burke (et. al.) know how to write software tutorial manuals. This is a great way to start learning about ArcGIS. Notice I said START. If you have some ArcView/Map knowledge, you might not get much out of this book; but then...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 14, 2007 Type: User Review Worthwhile

Very through tutorial. Successfully completing the lessons in this book would probably be worth 4 semester units if it were a college level course.

It can be a little obtuse at times therefore 4 stars not 5.

This is a good book for learning ArcGIS. Just don't expect to run the provided software, ArcVIEW 9.1, on Windows Vista. Some features work fine, others crash the program.
