Learning QGIS - Third Edition: Create great maps and perform geoprocessing tasks with ease 3rd ed. Edition

QGIS is very complex mapping software. The author has 2 books.. this starter guide and a publication specifically for map designs..this book is a good starter guide. GQIS has some training guides for download that would complement this book. This is a good , basic starter book. Still working on my project. Any publications as these are helpful..

Great resource!
