What's the new Smith Rocks guidebook called? And who is the author?

I guess I'm lacking in NC guides... which ones are the best?

Thanks Jimmy & Dustin, I'll have to look into those classic and iconic Yosemite and Tuolumne guides.

The big guider for smith rock is really good to have - very complete with 100s of routes for that area. Extends beyond Smith into the surrounding areas as well.

The old Matt Massey guide to American Crag in KY is one of the best I've seen. Lots of great cartoon drawings and stuff. Kind of like the Ten Sleep guide.
