Folks,

I make all kinds of recommendations about books:

But seldom do I rave about a work-related book. But
Datums and Map Projections by Jonathan Iliffe is an
exception. Most map projection books are either too
technical, too focused on a particular application,
or too boring to be read. This small, lucid book is none of
those things. He has a new version coming out Feb 15th.
I've already ordered my copy. This is one book I want
sitting near me on my shelf.

Cheers,

David
