I am using the GRASS book since the beginning of the year. I just wanted
to say that the book is simply The tutorial. I was wondering if the 1st
GRASS-book is worthy to obtain (any information that is not in the 2nd
and 3rd edition?).
Thanks to Markus and Helena.

Nikos,
Markus won't say this, of course, since he wrote the book, but I'll say it: BUY THE BOOK — it's well worth it — 3rd ed, of course. The book will save you many hours of time with all the examples and very good explanations of GRASS commands and basic GIS; also, we know time = money!
Regards,
Tom

Yes,
Tom I have it (3rd ed.). I have also (from a friend) the 2nd edition in
which I have seen for instance a detailed part about FFT. And I was
wondering about the 1st book. I've read the contents of the 1st book and
I have the impression that having the 2nd and the 3rd I am covered.
Thanks,
Nikos

We had to take out some content due to the 400 pages restriction from Springer
(otherwise they have to do a more costly binding and such). Our draft was
about 600 pages for the 3rd edition 
We can check with Springer if we can put out the omitted parts from the
previous editions (esp. FFT, orthophoto). Maybe, once they are no longer
sold they don't mind. We'll keep you posted.
Best,
Markus
I would be very interested in purchasing a supplemental book for the ~200 pages that needed to be excluded from the 3rd edition print. I am sure others would be as well. I cant read enough about GRASS, and I absolutely love the format and way information and examples are presented in the book.
To anyone who has not purchased the book: I highly recommend it for people of all skill levels. It will help beginners get started, as as well as intermediate and advanced users gain a broader understanding of some of the great tools and modules available in GRASS.

I agree Mark. I think I would also get the extra-200 pages book.
Greets,

Hi All,
The current addition is very good and wish I could
have the '200' pages too. Hope It will be available
too.
Cheers
