+ Incredibly helpful even for those with GIS and cartography experience already. The book contains a lot of maps and workflows that anybody can build from to create their own.
+ Some of the finished projects parts that aren't working (maybe due to this using an older QGIS version or other issues) which requires readers to troubleshoot which is as helpful, if not more, than the original instructions.
- Some parts lack instructions
