I have had several people PM me about my guidebook, so this statement is to no one in particular... but if you really expect to buy a guidebook at retail price just because it is used, you are kidding yourself.
Not a bitch.

I knew a professor that authored several books that are now out of print. Used hardbound copies are now selling for between $150 to $200. Paper copies (like I have) for only $5. If I had only known I would have scored the hardbounds & got them signed.

Which is why the more you travel and use other guides, the more you appreciate John's book...even with the 'walk 300 yards to the right' directions!

FYI, its easier to figure out Seneca's guide after you've climbed all over Seneca a couple of times...then it all sorta makes sense. That said Tony Barnes is cool guy.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

Hee, hee. I scored mine on eBay a few weeks ago for less than $20 with shipping, mint condition! Pretty much guarantees that the new one will be out in a few months...

New one coming out in a few months? It will be out of date by the time you get it.

Maybe it will have a special binding so I can keep adding pages for Muir.
