"So-so" according to Navigator. This book is riddled with typo's and gramatical errors. Apparenty, in the rush to publish, they failed to proof read the text. It has a lot of talk with little action. You may want to wait for a better written and organized book. Unfortunately, there is little to choose from regarding GIS and Python.. Frustration 1: I hate it when there are grammar errors in scholastic books. (I worked my way through this book this summer (2012) as part of an independent study through a local college. If there are grammar errors, then I don't trust anything else the author has written because it could flat out be wrong. So, if something didn't work I had a hard time figuring out if I did something incorrectly or the author flubbed it--spent too much time on that one issue.)Frustration 2: Implied: "We can teach you to do this, even if you don't know Pyt. Awkward and low standard book Wufei This book has an awkward way of describing and presenting cases and examples. Mostly it keeps referring to ArcGIS Web Help for more information on certain topics. This feels like a very low standard for what could have been an excellent book!
