The trailside readers, cactus eaters are more entertaining and more thoroughly cover trail life and conditions.  *understanding (of course) that nobody out hiking relies on these type of published PCT books for trail conditions, and water.  We'll all leave that to asabat, and halfmiles updates, yogi's, data book, eric....and the tried and true trail angels.
