We hope you’ve all enjoyed Reader Takeover Week here at Google Sightseeing and Alex and I would like to thank all those who contributed, especially our published authors: Jerome, Keir Clarke, Eugene Villar, Zack & Rob. All five were excellent posts and we’re really grateful for your assistance. A round of applause for the takeover week authors!

We’re back from holiday now and have begun wading through hundreds of unread emails and RSS feeds. Your regular GGSS schedule will resume shortly…

    Your vacation matched mine - so no chance to post! Hope you do it again next year…

    I reckon the published articles should win a copy of your book in a shameless plug =]

    My RSS is pointing me to a post here about a Chinese sub sighting. Now the post has gone. Is there something covert going on? Have the Chinese censored you? Will this post get pulled too? Exciting times/

    The Chinese government don’t have control of us yet!

    Lee, nice idea, but I am fairly certain there were 5 entries.

    And I’m sure they have 5 copies for prizes =]

    @Lee: In fact, we’ve got none! “Not in the Guide Book” is in short supply.

    But surely you’ve already got a copy?

    Woah. Can’t you like, rob them off of friends or family?
    And, I’m a student. I can barely feed myself =[
    Though, I do usually check the site most days. Brownie points for that?
