I hate when people use that term.  If anyone thinks they can write a better 
guidebook, have at it, but be prepared to have IT referred to as such from 
those using it soon after you write it.  The trails change all the time.  A 
guidebook is just that, a guide and have the standard diclaimers.  The maps 
generally stay the same, unless there's a earthquake or such.

If someone can't think for themselves, they probably shouldn't be out there.
