As with all of my books, I've tried to walk a very tricky line. I created a QGIS Python book reference book that will stand on its own if it's the only book you have. But I also try to create content that is very different from the official documentation and book, as well as complement other third-party books out there. QGIS is rich enough,
and updated and released with such frequency, that I don't think one book can do it justice. While many operations in QGIS are straight-forward and easy to understand, some things can be quite complex. For example, the Map Composer, raster operations, tinkering with various types of settings, and working with plug-ins through Python can be more difficult to understand. And having more than one example from different sources can be invaluable in software development. So I carefully picked examples and explanations that I felt were not easily found on the Internet for the most part, lacked documentation, or were complex enough that the over 170 examples should enrich your knowledge of QGIS regardless of you're starting from. At the very least, I hope it encourages more people to use my favorite GIS package.
