I don't think Jardine's PCT book is currently in print. If it is, it's 
difficult to find in book stores -- I've looked. It's a shame too, because 
the itineraries are useful to people who haven't hiked the PCT before (like 
myself).

What is in print is Jardine's Beyond Backpacking which has very little 
information specific to the PCT, but is still a decent book.

It's also funny to see Jardine state, in Beyond Backpacking that these days 
corn pasta is made without the germ and lacks the extra vitamins, so it's 
no longer a super food. Yet I still see people on the trail talking about 
corn pasta and expect that will continue for a while. (I eat it, but it's 
due to a wheat allergy.)
