Book Reviews of Google Earth For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
Book Review: Confusing, poorly written, useless muddy pictures
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to disagree with the other two reviewers. This book is badly and confusingly written. The chapter on .KML files is almost unreadable and certainly offers no information on the shortcut ways to mark up an image and send it on.
The pictures are awful.
My copy is going back to Amazon.
