It sound like you could be a little jealouse of the book.
How long have you been doing this???

Visit my blog for a review of the book. The number of factual errors is staggering.

None of this is whining from newbies or about “secret areas”. It’s about launching a big guidebook without checking in with your peers on the facts. The areas of controversy were certainly not developed “ages ago” given the high standard of the newer problems. If you want to spend 50 dollars on a potentially erroneous book, that is an option. However errors are what reviewers and editors are supposed to catch first so the buying public doesn’t have to. That wasn’t done for this book, plain and simple.

Pretty silly whining from newbies. In all the history of guidebooks, there has never been a perfect one. If every author and publisher waited for every nobody to get off their lazy butts and give inputs, nothing would ever get printed. I’ve looked over the book, and have no connection whatsoever, and will buy a copy when I can. Ultimately, books like this help spread impacts since people explore more. The NIMBYs have been proved wrong time and again when their pathetic cries about disclosure of “secret” areas went unheeded. Often as not, the areas were known ages ago and just never recorded.
