Classic Guidebook Rediscovered!

Just rediscovered in the basement among old gear, books, and maps the long lost St. Louis Rock Climbing Areas guidebook by Jim Thurmond, written in 1994. It has been a joy rock hunting with Jim over the years, and he truly is both the legend and the enigma of Missouri climbing history, completely dedicated and driven and a good old friend of mine. Good climbing times Jim! Here's to you!

Here are the first few pages from his book (click link below):

Wow...how do I get a hold of this thing!?!?! I love old guide books, which is why it is so disappointing that it's so hard to retrieve them!
