This book gives the reader good idea of where to go in Alaska if you using the highway system as your primary transportation method. The book is grouped by each Highway (Dalton, Glenn, etc) and each sub-area within that highway as to how well you can expect to do while prospecting in each area.
The Author has rated each sub-area (Creek/River System) between 1 and 3 stars. Each area lists if you can only pan, or use a sluice, dredge, etc. Times of the year that you are permitted to dredge, etc. It also lists the type of gold you are likely to find. (fine, course, nuggets, etc.)
I haven't used the book in actual practice yet, but plan to this summer. I would say that from what I have read that it is well worth the money.

My husband has wanted a copy of this book for over a year. I was thrilled to find this at a price I could afford. It is marked with libary stickers, but that is no problem as he will never sell or give away the book. He is thrilled with it.

The book is what it says it is, easy to read and is a good reference book. I liked it so well I got a second for my sister (she pans for gold too).
