Is this to say that the guide book is now available for purchase at Miguels?

That is a good point. I have only met Danny a couple of times and that is not a word I would have connected with him. Furthermore I have not heard that word used to describe a guidebook or even any book.
This is not a criticism I just feel my head expanding to include"dazzling" and "guidebook"....just a minute....yes .....searching......okay....well done Danny!

Will we be able to buy the new guide at any of the local Lexington stores?

Christmas came early this year!!!

Just received my copies of Ray's book in the mail.

Boy, did you set the bar out of sight for other guidebook authors! One of these copies has been making the rounds of my nitpicky writers, editors, and illustrators in my publishing company, and I only regret you're not here to hear the rave reviews.

I took my copy to Jackson Falls to show my friends. The consensus among many climbers was that it is a fantastic guidebook and that Ray did a great job. Features that got most positive remarks:color pics, color pics with route marked and with sports/trad diff colors, smaller and lighter, ....less filling , fuller flavor, no msg...

I like reading guidebooks and planning trips and strategies even if I might not go to the place for years... Ray this is the best one I have seen!

It finally made it's way to the D.C. area. Really great job Ray. Probably the nicest guidebook I've ever seen. Thanks for all the hard work.

Got mine today, a great afternoon treat for a workday. The color photos and topos are great, even my non climbing co-workers were impressed.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
