New Tome of Ultimate Mapping
Vintyri
Newcomer
I've purchased and downloaded Remy Monsen's new Version 3 of the Tome of Ultimate Mapping. I obviously haven't read it from cover to cover yet, but I have checked out quite a few things that were unclear to me ... enough that I can say, "Congratulations, Remy! Great job!"
However, if every CC3 user is smart enough to get the new tome, there will be a noticeable drop in postings in the "How do I ...?" and "Why doesn't...?" categories here.
All in all ... an excellent new product!

I may have missed it, but until I actually added it to my cart, I hadn't seen the price quoted anywhere. I think that's a mistake - you should never have to add something to a cart simply to find out how much it costs. (Especially when it's such good value!)

Are there any plans to offer the Tome in hard copy later, maybe?

EDIT: Hmm. I just checked the product page again and it clearly states the Tome is a download. Even the FAQ explicitly states it is a download. :-(
EDIT to my EDIT: Double hmmm. I just purchased my upgraded Tome (what a deal!) and, while I saw the purchase price during the upgrade process, I did not see anything about the print version, other than the note on the order for the original version that said the print copies would ship in September (2005, I think). Can someone at PF please confirm Vintyri's good news about the print version? And, if there are any Web gurus cruising this forum, can one of you guess why my FF 11 browser (on Win 7 SP1) might not show that info?
Thanks,

But anyway, for the price, I think it is really worth buying... I definitely do not regret it
i m a begginer mapper, always amazed by the maps of master cartographers.

Map style: i could have used more info on that ( a lot more) but i guess i should read that after i master the catalog part
Annuals: arff, a lot of references is made to them, but more practical info how to use them coud have been nice
other products: now i want to buy them !
keep the good work
Thanks Remy!
Then I received the email for Tome of Ultimate Mapping. The price was so completely reasonable and I had already spent so much money on CC3 products that I figure what the heck. It was worth $14 for the possibility of finally getting more use out of my CC3 stuff. And wow, is it ever completely worth it! At 2 or 3 times the price it would have been worth it for me. It's really helping me understand the workings of this complex software and I'm making maps!
Thank you very much ProFantasy and Remy Monsen, et. al. for putting this product out. I suspect it may not be nearly as much of an incredible value for veteran users as it is for me, but I'm ecstatic about it.
