Title: Well it is what it is
Review: Sadly the best thing about this book is the portability. While it has some good info, if you already know anything about camping/hiking/backpacking, then you will get nothing new from it. If however you know absolutely nothing and have a passing interest, then the book is worth it for a survey of the sport. Otherwise, pass on it, or get a more in depth book.
