In reply to davidbeynon:
> Physically the book is a hardback which is slightly too large to put into the lid of a rucsac. This means that I can't really use it on a route without the help of Mr. Photocopier.
Given how many people use their phone camera to take a shot of the relevant page and then take their phone on the route, this is not the problem it once was. Better to have a nice big book to make the most of the info and photos, have a good read at home then go without it completely.
> Another very minor niggle is that the book title is printed the "wrong way" on the spine relative to most other books so it looks as though it is upside down in my bookshelf. Bah!
Can't you just reverse the dust jacket, you know, in the name of Spinal Conformity?
