HI,
i'm a Grass fun too,

i've both 2&3 edition, i love it
i never find a better book about  "applied geomatics" science.

>> I would be very interested in purchasing a
>> supplemental

i agree with the idea to publish an "extra" part of the 3'th edition,
it would be fantastic!

thanks for ever to all grass's developpers
and obviously to Mrs Helena & Mr Markus
to make  so exiting books!


Regards,
Massimo Di Stefano
