Yes, AAC, of course. 1908 CAJ is very scarce, one of the scarcest. I'm not letting mine go.

It has been great fun to dig through the boxes and find all manner of guides, from early mineos to much more modern tomes. Equally as rewarding has been passing these on to others who will care and appreciate them. Making sure they are packed very well and arrive safely is important.
Other than the few photos posted, I haven't made any lists. But, as people email me and ask about particular areas, states or even regions, I try to send pictures of what there may be available.
I haven't even begun to work through the huge amount of Colorado guides.

Found yet another box of oversized guides, mimeos, preliminary and early xerox guides.
Here are a few neat Colorado items that came out of that box. If you are looking for Colorado guides, I have well over 100 different, all older and out of print. Best to email me randykvogel gee male with what guides you may be seeking as most will go first come first serve.
Thanks

Thought I'd post this as many of the very early xerox and mimeo guides (among others) are being snapped up as soon as I dig a new pile of them out of a newly discovered box.
These early guides have always been a favorite of mine, rich in history of our sport, and few ever survive.
Someone already has dibs on this one, but it is (to me at least) so cool, I had to post it.

Lots of Colorado Guides. I can send larger images for guides of interest. Some are signed by author, some are different editions or printings.

Most of The CO guides didn't last long. And, could have sold multiples of VD.
Anyway, here are a few Odds and Ends and cools stuff.
Cathedral Supplement
This is the Original Typewritten sheets - you can see the punch-through (with copies of the cliff maps)
Alan Nelson Tuolumne Guide
One of the original copies of Alan's guide, with his witty Title on the cover.

Southern Exposure. Managed to find it hidden amongst some Southern area guides.
Here are some other South and Southeastern Guides for good measure, a number of them signed.

I posted a climbing/campaign video on the ST thread below of Katie Hill, who is a climber running for Congress in California's 25th Congressional District (Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Palmdale, Lancaster, and the northern part of the San Fernando Valley). She is doing route(s) at Texas Canyon.
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/3081936/Katie-Hill-Congressional-Candidate-Climbing-in-Campaign-Ad
As an incentive to other climbers, guidebook aficionados, and those who might support Katie's campaign (polls show the race very competitive), I made the following offer on that thread (and thought it appropriate to make it here as well):
I have about 4 Joshua Tree Routes and Bouldering still in the shrink wrap along with about a dozen brand new Joshua Tree Climbs. For each SuperTopo member who contributes at least $40 to Katie's campaign (Use Act Blue), I will send you a copy of one of these guides (signed if you like). An $80 or more contribution will get you both.
Just email me randykvogel gee male with a screen shot or email confirming your contribution along with your mailing address and I'll ship the guide(s) to you Priority Mail.
This offer is limited to 16 guides (all I have).

sketchy-
Sent you an email on the enchanted rock guide. Couldn't make out anything but "Climbing at Enchanted Rock".
Just gotta say sketchy packages these things up with the same care as the routes he put up. Nice!
