Decent but less info than expected,

This review is from: Google Maps Mashups with Google Mapplets (Paperback)
This is a pretty good intro book for Google maps. I was hoping for a little more depth, though. If you know nothing about Google Maps Mashups this is a good place to start but know that you may need a more advanced reference once you've been introduced. Well written and illustrated. Code examples are good. I went through the examples in the book and they all worked.
