Does anyone know if any new editions of the Discover the Adirondacks Series (begun my Barbara McMartin and carried on by Bill Ingersoll and others) are planned?
These are the best books I have ever found on hiking the 'dacks. Because there is one for each region, they go far beyond the basic "top 50 hikes that everyone else does" books that try to cover the whole region in one book.
Even though my editions are quite out of date, they are still valuable. But an up-to-date edition would be even more valuable. This is especially true for Discover the Central Adirondacks, because as far as I can tell no new edition of Central was issued after the state acquisition of Essex Chain Lakes and the creation of Hudson Gorge Wilderness. So my edition of Central omits many of the excellent hikes that are now possible.
