[GRASSLIST:5480] Re: Any books useful for GRASS 6 ?

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I find the text:

Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach
Neteler and Miasova
2nd edition

very well done and useful. It is very hard for any printed document to 
keep up with a project the size of GRASS. Already there have been 
numerous changes since the 2nd edition came out (not to mention the 
Neteler and Mitasova's book was focused on the 53 line of GRASS). That 
being said however, it is a good place to start. Also cross referencing 
with online documentation and turtorials is useful.

Hope this helps
