What guides in print or out of print do you think are essential for a northern california climber????
By the way I am looking for, (Yosemite)Reid 1994,Meyers-Reid 1987,Harlin 1987,Meyers 1982,Roper 1971, older tuolumne, older Needles/kings canyon, older eastside,older high sierra... the older and more obscure the better.
PM me if you want to get rid of them.
Thanks
Kyle

Any recent Yosemite free climbing guide
Tuolumne Meadows guide
Joshua Tree guide- becuz winters can be wet
Sonora Pass Highway climbing guide
Tahoe Guide
North California climbing guide (Falcon on with the North Coast stuff)
Pinnacles Guide
The Moser series to the Southern Sierra
Southern Yosemite guide
High Sierra guide
Eastern Sierra guide
oh, and the Suicide and Tahquitz guide, just befugging cuz that place rocks.
Is that all of them?
oh, almost forgot, Calaveras- good luck on a guide to that. Anyone heard anything new on that front?

I'll bet people beat a path to your door to unload that old Needles guide... ;-)
Harlin and Roper can often be found on eBay ("email me when new items matching this search are found"). Unless you're a collector, some of the older Sierra guides are best used for kindling... truly wretched beta in some cases.

Got the 1986 Tuolumne (Ried/Falkenstein) last night.
Not many beating the door down, I do have a guy looking through his storage though, we'll see what that turns up.

I would add in Peter Crofts Book, the good bad and ugly (or whatever its called)
I like both Monyier high sierra guides as well as his ski guide books too.
Alan Bartletts old east side guide in the mid-80's.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon, the Domelands, etc... Vernon guide books for southern Sierra.
Yosemite Select - the current version is just improved beta on the original
Secor peaks passes and trails is the definitive overall guide to the range though.
What climber in her right mind would sell those old guide books anyway?
spose you need a Mick Ryan guide pamplet to be truly conprehensive, though Bartletts guide treated the Buttermilk quite well.
Cheers
