I can’t wait to buy a copy Gary! Congrats! Like Tyler, after reading the review copy, I am very excited for this book to become available. It is going to be one of those ‘must have’ books.

I just found this blog and was interested to note that you’re a Mac user. From what I’ve seen, it’s unusual to find someone who does GIS on the Mac platform. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of Mac-compatible open source GIS software out there, but it’s been difficult to figure out how to get started with it, so I’m really looking forward to your book. I’m also curious to learn more about the Mac as a GIS platform.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for the forthcoming book.
I am looking forward to reading it.

I do hope you will mention gvsig as well because, in my opinion, it is a wonderful piece of software.

Best regards.

the other thick clients pale in comparison.

Congratulations Gary! I am excited to read it. This should help many more people see how OS GIS tools can help them with their work.
