It's a good introductory book, but for the HALF of the price of this book you can purchase a TWO wonderful volumes of Karl Kraus Photogrammetry (ISBN:3427786943 on Amazon.de)
with the abundance of very practical procedures.

I bought this for my brother, He actually used it for his class which is a big deal since most professors request certain EXPENSIVE and never crack it open or it does not relate to the course.

My brother plans on keeping it since it was helpful and continues to be so for him
