I made a really big book (734 pages, 2"spine, atlas-trim size) and I'm wondering if this is just too much??

This is only a very rough draft, so I know the logistical basics while traveling from place to place. The title isn't serious, even though it may be accurate. We'll see what happens. Lots to do yet. by @stoneroadpress

New edition of National Park Maps was dropped off today!!

What's new?

Spiral-bound version!
Weather and visitation charts!
Nearby attractions!
New images!
Completely updated!

Contrary to what you'll read in reviews, it covers all 63 parks. Others complained about not having a 1/4" overlap in the spine. Well, the last edition did, but this one, it's white space in the spine to accommodate the spiral-binding. Now nit-pickers or people who just don't like me can complain about that :)

One thing worth complaining about: the price. Had to raise it. A). Spiral-bound is more expensive and B). Cost of goods sold probably aren't returning to pre-pandemic pricing ever, so here we are. I'm homeless, single, and objectively poor, but I do enjoy what I do, hope to continue doing it, and hope to earn at least a reasonable income doing it. We'll see what happens.

It doesn't release until October 13. Just the way of publishing. You have to schedule a book about one year in advance. I choose to schedule conservatively. Getting things done early means less stress and fewer errors ... I know from experience :) by @stoneroadpress

Looking to escape the crowds?

One week after release ... my most recent book is outdated :) haha ... book's still good, and so is this park! It's a little like Bryce Canyon but brown. Be sure to check out Apache National Forest and the Superstition Mountains while you're down there! by @stoneroadpress
