It is not the price that matters, but the freedom to derive translations. what good is a book that we cannot translate. Why would you ever translate your book to some obscure language, and then who would print it? thanks, mike On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 10:47 PM, Jochen Topf wrote: > On Sun, Oct 23,

The book will never be finished. :-) As I mentioned earlier we are happy to see further changes or suggestions for more topics. It's very easy to publish another version for printing. On Oct 23, 2011 1:05 PM, "Besfort Guri" wrote: > The Book is finished ? or need more for the end version ? > > O

Thanks for the kind words, Martijn. One of the questions we have yet to answer is how we should distribute the books that Google bought for us. I would prefer to give them to people that are a) likely to talk/blog about them (and thus OSM), b) not completely aware of OSM, c) have limited internet
