[pct-l] PCT books

[jomike at cot.net (JoAnn M.)]

Thanks Ryan, very much. I'll keep the information for future use.  My goal is to gather as many books about the PCT as possible. I wonder how many there are out there?

P.S. Thanks also to those who answered my 58/PCT question.

  I have not read those books, but I have another new PCT book to add to the list. 

  I am in a Nature Writing Course at Humboldt State University. The professor of the class, Corey Lewis, published a book this year titled: Reading The Trail: Exploring The Literature And Natural History Of The California Crest. 

  I have looked through the book and it looks good. He uses the Pacific Crest Trail to pull together the writings of Mary Austin, John Muir, and Gary Snyder-- as examples of classic nature writing born out of three different geographical areas.
