5.0 out of 5 stars The best Catskill Guide I've found, December 4, 2001
By Shawn Brown (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book to replace some of the outdated Catskill Guides I already have. This book is much more than I expected. It is well-organized and a pleasure to read. The routes are always interesting and the author provides much more information about the Catskills' environment. I also like the fact that hikes range from really easy to quite difficult. A few of the places that Henry picks are real gems that I didn't even know about. The pictures are good too. The book is a great size for taking on the trail.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like a guided tour, June 29, 2000
By "skiierboy" (Broome County, NY) - See all my reviews
I really liked this book. As a hiker I enjoyed getting to know the Catskills better as I walked a few of the trails. The book does a great job of explaining not just what is along the trail, but why it is there -- something you don't find in many hiking guides. In addition, this book is fun to read. I've read most of the book without going on the trails, and find it almost as good as being there myself. The book motivates me to get out there and go to these places. I'd recommend this book to anyone who hikes in the Catskills or even just lives near them or visits them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An good book and an unlikely controversey, April 15, 2001
By A Customer
A couple of my friends have this book, and I was thinking about buying it for myself. I was surpised to see such an odd review saying that this book encourages hikes on private land. I took a look through my friend's book and there is no mention of going on private land. I've been to Platte Clove (the area in question, I believe) and there are more than one way into the area. It is among the most spectacular places in the Catskills and for the author to ignore it would be a disservice to anyone interested in the Catskills. I'm not sure what kind of chip the person who wrote that review has on his shoulder, but it obvious that he/she is making up at least part of the review.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Catskills.
