Wow! It's true. I just called Wilson's and they said they are "expecting (copies) any day now".
Huge thanks to Tai, for so many years of work and making this available!
Can't wait to get one.

Looks like " no time soon" is sooner than you think. :). Yup- it's coming very soon. Marty's Owens guide will be out before the end of the year too.
Regardless of whatever groupies my have gotten Bitter Betty's panties in a wad ^ Ty is a nice person and one of the hardest working people I know. The amount of work that went into route development, trail work and creating a guide for Pine Creek is unimaginable. The place is a monster on all levels. Congrats to him on finishing the book.

I got a look at an advance copy of Tai DeVore's new Pine Creek guide when I was up visiting with Just the Maid and Aeriq over the past couple of days. Gorgeous book! What a great job Tai and friends did, and what a great resource! Besides all the new route development in the area, the amount of work that went into approach trails is phenomenal. Despite cold temps, there was just enough heat and sun for me and JTM to get in a couple of days climbing up there on new routes!

Does anyone know when the preordered books will ship out? Before or after Thanksgiving?

I was asking the same question in Wilson’s 2 days ago. Sounds like the books are somewhere between the docks in Long Beach and the Eastside. No one knows exactly. They said they should hang a sign up above the counter saying “They are NOT in yet!”, and add another option to their phone system, “For information on the Pine Creek guidebook, press 1”.
Xmas is on it’s way. Any day now.

The books are here! Just picked mine up from Tai, and got the lowdown on sales.
He said he is selling point-of-sale (local corridor outdoor shops) ONLY until the guidebook release party, after which they will be available at https://toilerpress.com/
The party will be maybe this weekend, but more likely next, and Tai & Marty are doing a joint book-release party at the Mountain Rambler brewery, so it should be an awesome event!
These two books represent some of the finest guide-book work I have seen to date!
See you at the MarTai Partai!

Thanks, Aerique. I'll get over to East Side and get both of them. Congrats to a couple of awesome guys who help make the world and the East Side (same thing) so special.
