Book is in really good condition for where it has been. I always carried it in my pack so it was never abraded by the hard-ass sandstone at the Gunks. I climbed there from 1969 (Goldline, Klettershoes and Pitons) through to 2002 first using the original blue book and then I purchased this from Rock and Snow in 1998. I made several notations about some of the routes but they were all very neat and clean. Just a check mark next to the route and maybe a small comment very neatly printed. The cover is coated in a plastic type finish for durability (original) and there are a few wrinkles in the finish but the boards are not wrinkled. Book is square and tight. This is on Amazon for $400.00.
