Is the book available in English or just in the original German?
I don't think it is available in English.
I tried a search under its ISBN number but found nothing similar. It seems it is published by a group who do a load of very similar books, catering for walkers, horse riders, bicyclists etc. etc. etc.
I sprekenzie kine Kraut other than DAS IST VERBOTTEN! But the book has maps which - though not large - I can marry up with a proper map to work out what is probably what. Similarly, some of the blurb I can follow simply as it looks like heights, distances between main towns, hotels etc.
I have had a reasonable amount of success buying route books and some good route maps via the German Amazon site. Again, it is in German but by a process of trial and error I have got through it more often than not. Similarly, if I am ever away I often pick up free local maps or route suggestions from hotels or tourist offices, no matter where I am. UKGSer trip reports are often excellent, too. OK, you sometimes have to join the dots up on a map or ask the bods a question, but it just adds to the fun. I often trip over blogs or trip reports slung up on the web by hundreds of nameless fellows or girls. Many are very good, even if they are in some unfathomable language... places are still places and pictures are still pictures, after all. I think it is one of the great things about Google and the whole www. thing. Where I have used some other bod's material and re-published it I always try to remember to put a link in to the original source, particularly if it came from a hotel's route book. I think that it is only polite to do so and, hopefully, they can get some trade (and recognition) as a consequence.
The Germans, Austrians and now the Italians too are publishing some really good material. Of course nobody is ever going to ride ALL the routes but they are often fun just to daydream over and / or snip bits out of. It gets quite easy to join chunks from one bit to another after a while. PC's can hold miles and miles of guff, so I lob the bits and boibs into electronic scrap books, hoping that one day it might come in handy. Mapsouce is excellent too for simply loading several possible routes into one file, each coloured differently in Route Properties. Zooming the map in and out on a decent sized screen and pinpointing towns, makes it easy to see how bits might well join up; but it is no substitute for one or two (or more) good quality maps.
