where exactly in greece is toppos anyway?
so how much do we all recon this'll shift for in the end? some people'll pay crazy wedge for this.
I wouldn't let my copy of extreme rock go for love nor money....'Cross-hatched with the comic linearity of puffins' - there's no price you can put on that.
On another note, is there anyone else on UKB who doesn't own a copy of Peak Bouldering but continues to use a combo of their own noggin, the old OTE guides and more recently, Ru & Jon's masterpiece - I don't think I've even thumbed a copy at the crag...
Extreme Rock is nice but you've got to be an idiot to pay that sort of cash for it. I'd steal a copy but I wouldn't buy one becuase I think Ken Wilson is a prick.

i think POC is bo, some of the interviews are pretty good like the malc taylor one, stuff like that. I also think its funny when the mentalist anti-trad pro-toproping author is trying to bait zippy into saying bad things about trad climbing then it totally backfires. Although it is puzzling the amount of southern sandstone people are in it that you've never heard of, and amazing how many moves are described as dynos, and just plain infuriating how many bad apostrophe's there are.theres loads of text in the yosemite book, its well wordy.
Do you totally discount Simmonite's Book? Ok it's flawed, but there are is some good stuff in it (nad I'm not biased before someone comments).There's a few other things like Redheads' "....crow" which hhas some pretentious crap, but good bits too.
