Hi Apeksha,
I have no idea of your budget, but I've found that both
books are quite useful.
Web Mapping illustrated has a lot of nice information
which is not in the MapServer book, AND vice-versa. The Mapserver book is great
and very focused on Mapserver and Mapscript.
Web Mapping Illustrated, however, contains some
information on how to use WMS/WFS with Mapserver, which is no really in the
Mapserver Book.
Web Mapping Illustrated talks about OpenEV a bunch, and
some other tools. I think they complement each other.
We bought both books and have not regretted it. Amazon
even gives you a bit of deal when you buy both together.

Hi Bill ,
[other
stuff]
Also , we were initially planning on buying Web Mapping Illustrated .
However , your book seems to be more relevant , do u think so ( keeping in mind
of what our project deals with ) ?
Would it be possible for you to mail us the table-of-contents of your book.
We tried searching it online , but the site somehow doesnt open properly.
Thanks once again ,
Apeksha
