I wrote a book about Google Maps

Hello all, After 8 years of developing with Google Maps, I'm publishing a handbook with carefully curated examples that demystify the GMaps JavaScript API and provide a solid foundation to build on. Included are loads of tips & tricks, recommended tools, related resources, and useful links. I would love to hear your feedback about it!
