I received the book as a Christmas Present, but am getting nowhere fast.

The premise is simple, there are 14 puzzles within the book. Each has a specific location as its answer, these then point to one final location, which is the main answer. Prize is €50,000 with the winner being drawn at random from all the correct entries supplied before the closing date.

There are several official sources of information for this hunt.

The website to enter your final answer is http://www.jointhetreasurehunt.com

You can follow the puzzle master (dedopulos) on Facebook and Twitter (where he will occasionally reveal extra clues)

Also there is his website - http://www.ghostwoods.com/ggth/

Also, the Telegraph is printing an extra clue each week - although they never indicate to which puzzle the clue belongs. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/great-global-treasure-hunt/

Clues

Also, the 2nd puzzle of the book was dissected and the answer revealed in the Telegraph in an article written for them by the puzzle master.

And some clues have been given out on Smooth Radio. I think these clues refer to the specific puzzles, but am unsure.
