Hi,

I'm curious how rare John Ewbank's original guidebook to the Blue Mountains is?

When John visited me here in New Hampshire in May, 2012, he didn't even own a copy. It's sentimental, and not for sale.

I posted an image on Supertopo, under "rare guidebooks". (2nd page)

Well I've got one.

I reckon Glenn Tempest's Werribee Gorge guide or Iain Sedgeman's Killikrankie guide might be rarer.

These are what we used to call interim guides. Someone would throw together a quick and dirty guide to an area that was developing fast, as a stop gap until someone got around to writing a more substantive book. These days, the interim content just goes on the web. Interim guides had very small print runs and are thus rare.

So when asking whats the rarest guide, do you count interim guides?
