For thru hikers, or even section or weekend hikers, this book is a must. Contains much more detailed info on the trail--how far to the next shelter/water/campsite, or how far off the trail to the nearest town/post office/store than the Data Book. Also has "things not to miss" as you hike the entire AT or simply short sections of the AT.

Although you might think a 2004 edition is a bit dated, the "what to do and see" never changes for a country with such a rich history. Prices for lodging can be easily updated on -line. Maps, how to get around (train stations, etc) are still very beneficial.

Like all of the Lonely Planet books.....INVALUABLE!

Lonely Planet series is one of the best of the budget travel guides. Although the costs (for hotels, etc.) get out of date quickly for ANY travel guide, the sites to see rarely change, and with the internet you can get updated prices for hotels.

Posted title does not include the cover, but this is part of the "For Dummies" series. Offers easy-to-read and easy-to-understand explanations of what you need to know about health benefits. With this book you can find the right coverage, choose what options you want from the myriad available, make the most of your benefits during life's different stages, and deal with paying for it all.

Great info on many trails. Details on how to locate start and end of the trails, parking, services, etc. The only negative: it seems that trails of 1-3 miles should not be included, since they are so short, but if there were no other trails in that state, I guess they wanted representation.

I have hiked the entire AT (it took me 15 years!), and in general, I was disappointed in Bryson's book. It is good for a laugh, but it does not truly convey the AT trail experience, especially the wonderful people that I met during my hikes.
