I've never seen any mention of the 'other' books for thru-hikers on this
list. You know, the ones the ATC puts out (Thru-hikers Companion, A.T. Data
Book & The A.T. Workbook for Planning Thru-hikes). Has anyone used them?
They sound good from the ATC brochure descriptions and (as far as I can
tell) they come out on time. Opinions please.

Now having asked my question thereby contributing positively to _The List_
I shall retire to enjoy my birthday gift from my wonderful daughter who,
with only slight prompting from me, gave me "Five Million Steps". Ta Ta
(that's AT, AT backwards to y'all).
