For those of you that like reading books about hiking around the world, in February, the publisher W.W. Norton & Company released a book by Peter Potterfield called “Classic Hikes of the World.” The 225 page book is 9”x11” and has some stunning photography. It is a collection of hikes from 6 continents and 11 of the hikes are in North America, including the Wonderland Trail, the John Muir Trail and the White Mountain Traverse. It does not, however, include any of the long distance trails.
All of the 6 photos in the 53-mile White Mountain section are mine including a 2-page shot on Franconia Ridge. I also proof-read and edited the original copy for that section of the book (there is a one word error there which isn't mine). The book is a little pricey but I found a new copy through Amazon.com for $20.00, which is about ˝ the list price. If you get a chance to buy it, or check it out in some bookstore, let me know what you think of my photos. You may recognize one of the photos that was also on the cover of the 2003 ALDHA Companion.
