The best books for MapInfo for business analysis were written by Angela Whitener. The best one for MapInfo as applied to the Natural Sciences is Ian Johnson's "Understanding MapInfo." Yes, these are a bit old, but a lot of the techniques haven't changed. Another is Jacques Paris' "MI Bag O' Tricks" which is full of goodies if you want to learn the ways of the Power User. Amazon sells all but Jacques' (see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1566901510/102-2077897-7256941?v=glance). It also appears that Meridian Geo and MapMart are flogging MapInfo products through Amazon too these days;. hmm, clever guerrilla marketing... but I digress. Here's Jacques' web site, but it doesn't seem to be up today (www.paris-pc-gis.com.) It's too bad the MapInfo market is so pitifully small that it can't support even a small press and a coffee house of starving writers to churn out current magazines, essays, novels, tomes and grimoires on using MapInfo, but think of the character you'll build foraging for information online! 'Cause the latest book on MapInfo is being written right here, every day. Granted, the editing is lousy, and the stream-of-consciousness format can be maddening when you're trying to find something, but hey, welcome to MapInfo-L! - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 11144
