it don't exist no more. go to www.whiteblazepages.net for the newest and best handbook or go to www.aldha.org for a free download
Wingfoot closed down his web site and cease publication several months ago. There will be no 2008 book. May I suggest you look at the ALDHA Companionand see if it will meet your needs. It is available in printed form from the ALDHA web site

So he has a 2007 as his last edition. BUT there are "qualified individuals" for 2008 to continue on. I wonder how much the bidding was to become "qualified"

I am glad to see the resource will continue. Hope it works well for you. Will you be keeping an on-line journal?
get www.whiteblazepages.net book instead for cheaper

but i think i will try to pick up the 07 instead thanks for the input, so does that mean the 08 "revised with the new author" is going to be a hack job or what?
Actually I happen to know what qualified means based on some e-mail traffic. It really means someone that wanted to spend about a new car in qualifications.
But anyone can write a guide. Who needs to spend a car to get started?

Think I would wait until the new WhileBlaze Pages has been out a year and see what sort of reviews it gets. Too many loose ends on that one.
If I was thru-hiking this year, I'd go with the Companion. It sounds like Wingy did the updates for the 2008 edition of his book, so it would prabably be OK as well.
WF is back, incognito! How many guidebooks now?
my o5 is still up, ive gotten lazy, and my aprroach for this thru hike, is going to be super lade back, with minimal planning, but ill still be packin light and hiking miles, thats how i like it. I wonder if this book is any good, 'white blaze pages' I think I might stick with wingfoots any way. This might be an interesting year with all these new data books floating around
Based on what was the asking price, chances are he will tell you it is a great guide no matter what the actualy quality is since it comes with AC and cruise control at that price LOL.
