Title: A good book but not much new here.
Product review: Having previously bought a copy of the second edition of the Backpackers Handbook some years ago, I found it to be a very informative book and a great help for hiking. A few years having passed, I thought the newer version would be more up to date and informative, as advertised. I was disappointed to find the book was basically not much more than a reprint of the 2nd edition and in my opinion, not worth the money. It contains only a very small amount of new information, in fact most chapters are verbatim or very close to verbatim repeats of the second edition. Less than impressed.
