I may not be your favorite person, but at least you can expect straight answers from me.  <g>
 
The CDTA (Westcliff) books are big, heavy, printed on glossy paper with lots of pretty pictures.  
Re: actual information - the Westcliff Colorado book is the only one worth having. 
 
Jim Wolf's books are smaller, lighter, and a whole lot more accurate.  But don't buy the guidebooks 
without the updates. 
 
We own both sets - on-trail, we use Jim's books, Jonathon's maps, BLM and Forest maps and a 
compass.   
 
There are other opinions - 
 
Walk softly,
