Since the way to get the Geocache locations is to go to the website and get them online, which also tells you everything else you need to know about the game, you don't really need this book at all.

UPDATE:

I have just read THE COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO GEOCACHING (The ORANGE book, NOT the yellow book) and it is EXCELLENT!!

If you want a good book on Geocaching, get that one!

(The yellow "for dummies" book, which I also read, is not very good)

Having read other books on Geocaching, this is by far the best one. It is concise and writen in such a fashion as to be easy reading for anyone who is interested in Geocaching. I would highly recommend it.

This is a pretty basic book. If you are thinking about geocaching or are brand new. If you have found a couple of caches using a GPS or if you have been in the military, you will probably not find anything of interest here.

Both beginning and experienced geocachers can learn the basics of navigation, outdoor safety and geocaching games through this survey of an outdoor activity all ages can enjoy. 'Geocaching' uses a GPS receiver and map, compass and computer access to locate a 'virtual cache'. The better you hone your GPS navigational skills, the more quickly a cache can be located. A 'cache' is a hidden location where players can leave a variety of 'treasure' and clues - geocaching is a fun concept and Mike Dyer's The Essential Guide To Geocaching: Tracking Treasure With Your GPS provides all the basics.

A short and to the point review on the essence of Geo-Caching. Nothing earth-shattering, just the basics on how the event works, the types of equipment you will use and how to get started. Similar information is available on-line from various sites, but for the cost of $0.46 used I just couldn't pass this up.

Great book a "must read" for those into geocaching or want to know about it.

I found this book to be well-written and an easy to use guide on geo-caching. This book was clear and concise and made learning about this new sport easy to do. Geo-caching is a great activity to get the family outdoors and have fun altogether and this book certainily helped.
