Sharp eyes,
A better picture, includes both printings of Trudy's 2nd Edition.

That's a rare, and lightly used, copy of Glenn's Squamish Guide. It's not "bent in the middle, like a one string fiddle". But can likely "tell you a tale or two".

If the Garden of the Gods book is still available I'd like it. The one I had got lost somewhere.

Lynne, All is well, just cleaning house.
I have probably every Toulumne guide ever made, including the pre-chockstone, 8.5 x 11 guides, etc. Will have to dig around.

Roots,
I have literally hundreds of guides (before my purge of the late 1980s, I had over 1200), from common to very not so. US, Canada, some British and some Africa, etc. They are not doing me any good residing in boxes or gathering dust on bookcases. Time for others to enjoy them. Will keep those that have personal meaning to me (which is still a lot).
This will take a long time to sort.
Here are a couple nicer ones:
The only Gran Guide with Original Dust Jacket I've ever seen:
Desirable Tetons Guide in Fine+

Hi Matt, Not sure I have any Iowa, but do have 3 other different Mississippi Palasades guides and some other Midwest stuff. When I complete going through the boxes I'll let you know if I find any Iowa (though I don't think so).

Wow, that's kind of the end of an era, you've likely got one of the top US guidebook collections in the world. Still, it doesn't take many times cleaning out parents and other elders collections of crap to realize you're better off unloading now than later. That's why I'm not going to buy any...

Are there any gyms (or other "common" areas -- like the Mountain Shop in Yose, Miguel's, Rock & Snow, etc) that have "reading rooms"? Would be psyched to visit a place that provides relics like these to peruse. And they'd provide a lot more value than most of the rest of our guidebook collections, which just exist as a spine on a bookshelf.

Best reading rooms for this sort of thing I've seen were the Alpine Club of Canada in Banff and the Mountaineers Library in Seattle. Sadly A brief search suggests most of the ACC's collection is in storage and the Mountaineer's stuff is similarly archived.
