I stayed in a hostel in Courtenay BC Canada   They had a bookcase filled with so many used books. In all that mess were “The Pacific Crest Trail,Volume 1,Calif by Thomas Winnett copyright 1973 and The PCT volume 2,second edition ,1976. By Schaffer &Hartlines. There was a sign “take a book leave a book”.I asked “does that include the trail  guide books?” The owner said “yes of course”. I left 10 books. Not really believing that it really was ok, I felt a bit guilty for a couple of years. I could not imagine that he didn’t think they were special. Then I heard that hostel had burned down taking everything inside it maybe a year after I stayed there. Those old guidebooks are cherished by me. I often look at the old routes and maps and compare them to the route I took in my 2 thru hikes of the trail. 
The books are barely used. I don’t know how to put them online without cutting them apart. Absolutely won’t do that. They might not even be what you are talking about. Maybe you mean earlier routes.
