As with most technical textbooks, this one doesn’t cover recent updates to the ArcGIS software. However, it is surprisingly relevant still. I really appreciated the structure of the chapters, where it guides you through the steps and then has you repeat the process in an exercise. I also found the screenshots to be extremely helpful. This is an excellent tutorial for ArcGIS.
