Cliff Craig - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Community Geography: GIS in Action (Paperback)

This small text is great for beginners in GIS software and also for teaching students grades K-12. However, it took me over a month to get the books, so if you need them quickly, plan in advance.
