Ok, new game to play on the Taco...
post a pic of your guidebook collection, random or posed...
guidbook authors, go "hey wait a sec, that looks like mine!"
climbers go "hey wait a sec, I got that book!"

Nietzsche was just another German loudmouth, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Care to elaborate Gary?
My take on Nietzsche is: that I care not that others think I am being true to Nietzsche.
In that my semiotics might be consistent with yours.

That is very impressive! Now the question is; which one is your favorite and why? What features make it special? Or is it the climbing area itself that makes the guide special?

(Edit: Don't be too true to the form of Nietzsche, remember his final statement was committing suicide.)

Can't see all the titles, but I'd say there's a 90% chance I'm safe saying this...
...I have virtually all of those.
Don't see the one I authored...

Rob, it looks like you are running out of space! Got room for a new one with 400-410 pages? Perhaps I can borrow a few to "help out". :-)
Here's my collection, including the Needles guide which is not mine but on loan from a friend.
Someday, I will likely inherit the family copy of Beckey's 1949 first edition guidebook.
Don't forget the oversize/photo books!
Next one to add is
http://www.amazon.com/Glen-Denny-Yosemite-Sixties/dp/0979065909
(it's available exclusively from patagonia.com at present, so you have to wait if you want to get it from amazon)

Greg,
the red Bugaboo guide is the Green-Benson first edition
green is the new Green-Benson second edition (not much changed)
brown is the new Atkinson-Piche' guide (uses mostly photo overlays)

Cool! I was hoping it was a new one that I just hadn't run across yet.
I see you have the Bugaboo coffee table book. I found that thing in a hole-in-the-wall book shop here in Phx. Nice book.

interested to see that the stanford alpine club book was published by csli. they do mainly academic publishing related to language and computation:
http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/site/backlist.html
as an academic in that area (and being at stanford) i've had some dealings with them. i wonder how they got connected to that project. clint, maybe?

I bet brian in slc has a huge collection. Seems like every time I lose an ebay auction for a sweet guide, it is to him!

murcy,
I don't know how the deal was made to publish the SAC book through CSLI. You could ask John Rawlings - both he and Glen Denny work for the Stanford Libraries, offices in Green.
caughtinside,
I bet you are right about Brian's collection. He sold me a nice 1964 Roper Yosemite guide, which got left out of the above photos because it's on a nearby shelf (I don't take it to the crags).

Recognize a few of the guides. Have nearly all of the ones pictured. But, I am missing the Nietzsche -- what area does it cover?
Todd Gordon is rumored to have a few guides.
Speaking of the SAC, they "published" the first two editions of the classic buildering guide: Mountaineering, Freedom of the Quad
I'm thinking of dumping a lot of mine, no room.

Anastasia,
"committing suicide."
uh, nope. Died of pnuemonia. Where in the world did you hear suicide from?
Riley, Nietzsche's actually fairly pivotal in philosophy and the underpinnings of post modern thought.
Looking Sketch,
Daybreak - A guide to morning climbs along the Post Modern Corridor. Unfortunately, it's out of print nowadays. :-) Let me know if you have a few you want to unload. Would dig old Josh guides. Hell even a new one...
Clint, I've got room for just one more, then that's it. :)
The difference between your Albi waterice guide and mine, is you've used yours. Mine is just for reading like a menu at a restaurant I can't afford. :)
