In reply to DalesClimber:
I think this book is inspirational rather than instructional, no bad thing imho.
The tours it recommends are either pretty obvious to anyone with a bit of common sense and experience or rarely in condition these days.
Good for someone who really doesn't know the Scottish Hills but planning a day out only requires a knowledge of current snow conditions and snow level, the forecast and perhaps the SAIS website. I find the web a more useful source of info these days.
That said its a lovely book of beautiful photos and (rather dry) trip reports...great for the armchair skier praying for snow.
