Customer Rating:
Summary: GIS design and implementation
Comment: The book is overpriced. The content needs to be edited and all the spelling mistakes corrected. I learned more from free content on internet sites than from this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good content, bad writing
Comment: Based on content and organization, it's good, maybe really good. But the poor writing makes it hard to read. It's also kind of expensive.
I was new to GIS design and implementation, so I can't compare this to what else is out there on these topics. I do have some experience with databases and GIS software, so I'm not that green to the concepts. I'm a thorough reader and like for reading to flow, especially when it's explaining something techy. This book has many punctuation errors (e.g. a period where a comma should be), uses the wrong word (e.g. their for there, or where for were), uses the wrong form of the verb "is", uses plural where it's really singular, etc. Sometimes a sentence is just worded in a way that makes it difficult to follow.
I have learned a lot about design and implementation of GIS with this book. I just wish it would have been less taxing to get through.
