Hi,
Since they are some discussions about MapInfo literature on the list right
now, I would like to remind the list community of the excellent book of Ian
Johnson : "Understanding MapInfo". This book has a real unbiased approach,
demonstrating MapInfo's goodies and weaknesses. Really easy to understand.
Unfortunately the book is dated of 1996 and its information is based on
MapInfo 4.0.
I wonder if somebody knows if this great books has received any update
already or if a new edition is planned. (If the author watches the list,
perhaps he can inform us.)
Regards
Thomas Gülden

Another book on MapInfo worth a look is "Inside MapInfo Professional -
2nd Edition", 496 pages, published 1999 by On Word Press.
This is a User Friendly Guide to MapInfo, not a rehash of the MapInfo
User manual. The tutorial section has 12 chapters that cover basic
and advanced functionality. All chapters include demonstrations and
examples utilize a companion CD-ROM that is included. The Case
Studies section presents examples in 5 different industries.
We are offering the book free, with MapInfo 5.5 upgrade orders.
