 Getting Know ArcGIS DesktopApr 07, 2009
By Alan M. Armstrong
The software that came with the course materials does not match the written text and examples contained in the text of the book. I am having to try to get information from ESRI to correct the flaws. The exercises beginning in chapter 9 do not work.

 incorrect titleSep 09, 2009
By A Reader
This book is not an audio book as titled on your website, rather, it is a book with two DVDs of data and software.

Excellent helpMar 07, 2009
By Daniel Gruber
This is an excellent, very helpful intro to the basics of using ArcGIS (specifically ArcMap in my case). The ESRI documentation that comes with the software was not helpful at all. I was (painfully) learning mostly by clicking on various menus until this book arrived. By referencing the book and its many examples, I've been able to develop my material in a matter of a few hours after spending days making little progress. Expensive but worth it.

The place to startSep 27, 2010
By sherri
The only knowledge of GIS I had before this book was the understanding of what it was and how it was used. This book is excellent for the beginner. Not only is it an excellent way to get a trial version of the software but it takes you step by step through making maps. I had no problems with the data or the software. Once I finished the book I was able to go on to more challenging books and take several of the ESRI longer courses. This book is the place to start for anyone interested in learning GIS.

 Not for somone who has used GIS beforeSep 21, 2010
By Lord Ulrich
This book is not for someone whom is already familiar with ArcGIS. This is a VERY basic workbook covering the basics of ArcGIS.
