Sometimes termed 'the bible of A.T. hiking, ' each year's Data Book consolidates the most basic information from 11 detailed guidebooks into a lightweight table of distances between major Appalachian Trail shelters, road-crossings, and features. It is divided according to the guidebook volumes (one state or two or, for Virginia, parts of a state) and updated each December to account for Trail relocations, new (or removed) shelters, and other changes. In addition to codes for lodging, food, water, and other essentials, the Data Book is keyed to both the individual guidebook sections and to the separate maps. Day-hikers and long-distance hikers alike rely on this volume for armchair planning as well as on-the-trail orientation.This also is the source for the ever-changing official answer to, How long is the trail?

My book was missing over 630 miles, it kept repeating Georgia to Central Virginia and New Hampshire to Maine. I had a huge argument with the publisher abt the error who insisted it was impossible and I was not stating the truth. I spent $4.25 to ship the book back to him and he sent me a replacement book to the wrong address but I did finally receive it. The publisher refuses to place a warning out on this book but I have. This is a must have if you plan to spend a couple days hiking on any part of the trail or attempt a thru-hike.
