The recent thread on the AMC survey got me thinking about guide books. I am very happy with the AMC's White Mountain Guide.... I use the book for trip planning and I like to read it for fun. I didn't find the 27th guide to be a big improvement over the 26th. The survey about the upcoming guide features they are considering is intriguiing The WMG's are like old boots; you hate to retire them. A hiking buddy insists on using his old WMG's even though in his guide, the Osseo starts at the Kanc and Eisenhower was named Mt. Pleasant.
I also like Steve Smith's 4,000 Footers of New Hampshire. The discussion of winter hikes for each peak is great.
Anyone else have any favorite guide books on the Whites, Long Trail, Maine peaks, Cat Skills or Daks (did I leave anything out)?
