WTB - Bicycling the Pacific Coast

I'm looking for the book, "Bicycling the Pacific Coast: A Complete Route Guide, Canada to Mexico," 4th edition, 2005, by Tom Kirkendall and Vicky Spring.

Thanks!

Amazon had them not too long ago, but not now. If you don't find it the Adventure Cycling Maps for the Pacific Coast would suffice nicely in it's place.

It looks like Powells has it though:

Powell's Book Store just replied to my e-mail, and they do not have the book and told me the book is out of print. I called Barne's & Nobles, and they told me the same thing. I found copies of the older editions for sale, but I'd like to try and find the 4th edition.

I would be happy to send you mine as long as you promise to send it back when you are done. I most likely won't need it this year.

Unless you are camping, I find a regular guide book and the ATA maps far more useful.

I have one, but it's at least 20 years old...probably older.

Check Amazon again more carefully.

There are many, many used copies available, starting at one penny, plus shipping.
