From a review:

SHORT BOOK REVIEWS

The book is well laid out, similar in style to a number of LaTex manuals, which I find aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. A concise introduction gives a good overview of the three types of spatial data and some associated spatial statistical concepts. ... I highly recommend this book.
