Abstract
The story lines of many books occupy real world locations. We have previously explored the challenges of creating automatic location markup that might be used in location-based audio services for digital books. This paper explores the challenges of manually creating location annotations for digital books. We annotated three very different books, and report here on the insights gained and lessons learned. We draw conclusions for the design of software that might support this annotation process in situ and ex situ.

The reading of “Rira" being a name introduced perhaps by the new settlers was suggested by the Waikato University Map Librarian John Robson, as he recognized that the word was not of English or Maori origin.
