Title: A Major Disappointment
Review: I've read most of Townsends other books and value them highly both because I like the way he writes and he imparts informative data. In particular, I like his "The Backpacker's Handbook." This new book is a major disappointment. It bills itself as an encyclopedia but lacks the indepth articles that typify that type of document. It format is more closely aligned to that of a dictionary. Topic words are defined but no attempt is really made to turn the defitition into a "how to" article. You can read the entire book without learning how to do a darn thing. Additionally, there is no new information that Chris didn't already put in his Handbook. In some cases, the text is lifted verbatim from "The Backpacker's Handbook." A major disappointment. Don't waste your money.
