It was an older Blue Mountains guide....but I'm fairly certain it had both pitches as 18. I bought it in Katoomba around Easter weekend this year. The newest guide wasn't out yet, but funny enough I had some other guy tell me that there was still a more recent version out and he was amazed that stores were still selling the guide I had. I think it had a purple cover if that helps. I ended up taking it back to the same store when I got back to Brisbane.
