Why bother? There's a path all the way from mexico to canada.

I bought my guidebooks in fall of 2001, in anticipation of hiking the trail
in 2002.  Since that didn't happen, they are another year older.  I have the
fifth edition of the California guidebook, and the sixth edition of the
Oregon/Washington guidebook.  It appears that the California guidebook was
last updated in 1995, and was on its third printing as of 2000.  The
Oregon/Washington book seems to have been updated and published in August of
2000.

I'd hate to waste money if it isn't necessary, but I don't want to be using
seriously out-of-date guides.

I've seen that others have had trouble getting the California guidebooks, so
I'm not even sure I'd be able to get them at this late date.

Any thoughts?
