 More greetings from Ol' Earthworm!

 These entries are for the two National Geographic books that have been
 mentioned on this List before (or was it on the "other" one?).  Details
 follow.  Happy hiking and reading!  --  Earthworm

 Book (General)—
 Mountain Adventure: Exploring the Appalachian Trail (1st Edition)
 Author: Ron (Ronald M.) Fisher
 Published by: National Geographic Society; 1145 17th St., NW; Washington
   DC 20036-4688 (800-447-0647)
 1988; 199 pp., colored photographs, maps; ISBN 0870446681 (hard cover)

 Notes: Photographs by Sam Abell. Foreward by David M. Sherman (active in
   AT activities and "Father" of the Benton MacKaye Trail). Similar to the
   1972 book, but tracing a more current hike on the AT and with more
   current writing on the Trail's surroundings. Also, the photographs are
   better reproductions, benefitting from more recent printing techniques.
