3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting exersize, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

ArcView Gis Exercise Book appears to be a valuable tool. It is a tutorial based on data included on on a CD. Persons interested in this book and accompanying CD should be aware that running the tutorial requires alteration to the autoexec.bat file, knowledge of DOS commands, and a fair amount of time and patience when attempting to open a project. A stream of queries regarding locations of files can take up to 30 minutes in an attempt to open a project to begin a particular tutorial. Default settings for ArcView startup will be changed with the modifications required.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jahangeer Basha Shaik, January 13, 2000

By	Jahangeer B Shaik (USA) - See all my reviews

It's an extremely good book for the beginners as well as experienced ones. It gives the step by step procedures and one doesn't need to know anything at all to read through this book. It gives you more knowledge than you expect of it without a doubt.

4.0 out of 5 stars More user-friendly than "Inside ArcView GIS", November 26, 1998

By A Customer

The book goes beyond "Getting to know ArcView" and includes the important tools someone needs to begin to take advantage of AV 3.x. I wish the book, or an associated one,would get into the extensions and more powerful uses of the software.
