Yeeeeaaaah, thanks to Jim's home delivery, we got our three copies
-- one for before washing our hands, one for after, and one for Mr Mud's friend Dave Wood.
Mr Mud has seen the new guidebook when Brad brought his own first copy down and I saw it last weekend at F4's place, but it ain't the same as reading it at home, in my couch, undisturbed.
1) The book only weighs 1 lb 11.375 oz (778g). So, it's light!
2) The route numbers go up to 880. Brad, you'd done 749 routes (as of Oct 23) in good style, right? That's about 85.11%. I wonder if any author of other guidebooks (the complete ones, not the selects like Supertopos) can beat that.
3) The maps and topos are top notch! Even the trees in the topos are leaning in a meaningful way.
4) Introduction makes an excellent read, esp. to an armchair climber like me.
Now, Brad, how do you want to collect/maintain/publish your errata? I've found some misinformation that I want to report. Notice that I did not say "mistake" because F4 once said to me, "To say the guidebook made a mistake would be to say Brad made a mistake and he never does that. "
