Frank Taylor of the Google Earth Blog has posted a great video review of the new Google Sightseeing book - Off the Map (or Not In the Guide Book as it’s known in the UK) on YouTube! Aw shucks, we feel so, webby :D

Now if even that isn’t enough to convince you to lay down some cash, then we’ve got more information, sample pages, and amazon links on the Google Sightseeing Book page.

    Somehow this video has made it onto the first page of “Most Viewed (Today) in Science & Technology“…?

    oh. would have been a perfect present for a birthday.
    unfortunately it’s too late now.

    I assume it’s not going to be distributed in Germany?

    andi: Although the book has not been printed by any German publisher, the localised Amazons do ship imports and you can buy Not in the Guide Book from Amazon.de.

    Sups!

    “Not in the Guide Book” was also recommended in the xmas gifts section of (chick magazine) Red this month. Well done guys.
