If you have never used ArcMap before and have no other resources to draw from, this book is a decent enough starting point. Everyone has to start somewhere, and the tutorials are easy to follow and it is well illustrated.
However, if you have any shred of experience with the program it probably is not going to be worth you time. This book was assigned for a college GIS course taught at a fairly intro level. I had taken a course prior, but even my classmates who had no prior experience had absolutely no use for this book. Any time we needed the help of a book, this one fell short.
Should you find yourself having to learn the basics quickly, getting the feel for some processes and terminology to help you google search things (esri has great resources online), this might not be a bad choice. Otherwise, I'd pass on this one.

This book is for beginners. I was hoping to learn a few new tricks or explore some seldom used aspects of ArcMap. This was a poor choice for that goal. I recommend this book for novices who may use ArcMap for a small portion of their job and want to become familiar with the main uses of the program. I would not recommend this book for anyone who uses ArcMap extensively or needs to know anything beyond the basics. The book is very easy to understand and all of the exercises I tried worked. I enjoyed going through it, but was left wanting more.
