What a marvelous thread. Thanks to all for hanging on to those books for all these years.
There's one that has not been shown, a guidebook renowned for having a typo in the title: "Cracks Ulimited", a guide to Vedauwoo, WY.
I have one of those looseleaf Nicol 1974 Yosemite topo guides. My favorite section is this page instructing Brits on how to get by in the Valley. Take note of the literary skills of these gentlemen, and of the editor's note that Roper's guide is "immensely funny".

Janet, those are great! Having grown up on Tahquitz rock it is cool to see those.
That Omnibus on belaying probably needs a reprint and passed around the new school crowd. good stuff!

Klimmer, I think your right. It is priceless. I wonder how many of those are out there.
Janet thanks for joining in. Nice collection of Tahquitz stuff. I almost posted a picture of the omnibus but figured I had enough at that point.
Munge your book is going out today. Thanks

Here are a few more I found. Some not so rare but the Granite Crags is pretty collectible.

The famous 1937 first edition of The Night Climbers of Cambridge might qualify?
My college library actually had a copy of this, and I remember running across it by accident...

A few post back someone mentioned the Urioste Red guide - those are common I believe, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Hey Janet Wilts.
I just sent you an email through the ST so please respond to it as I need some help sourcing a couple of Tahquitz photos for the Tom Frost book.

Love the thread. Old guidebooks are are like great memories on the shelf.
Love this one. Great illustrations:
Surely this is rare, but there's good reason. A guide to obscure SE Pennsylvania choss:
And a classic bit of inspiration for RMNP:
Sorry. Too lazy to rotate. :-)

Have any of you seen Mike Baca's guide to Christmas Tree Pass? It's printed on photographic paper. Baca did a great job covering all the know routes at the time of publication. My copy is stashed around here somewhere, If I can find it I'll post something.
