  Reading all the postings about books has me confused. In
  particular, books seem to be referred to by slang names,
  e.g., Yogi's book, the book of lies, the data book, the guide
  book, etc.

  If one were to look in a bookstore or on the PCT
  website to buy those books, what are the publisher's
  titles and author's name?

  E.g., the real title and author of Yogi's book might
  be "Effortless Hiking on the PCT" by Yogi Berra. <grin>

  Thanks
