Glenn's comments:
This is likely one of the best introductory books you will find for ArcView GIS. If you have a friend or colleague
that wants to know more about ArcView and learn at their own pace then this would be an excellent companion. Advanced users
won't get alot from this tile, but for an introductory primer this one can't be beat... I have it in my collection!
