Letting Go

Working in a bookstore, you have to learn to see great books come through the store and know that you can't take them all home with you. Case in point, this book I came across today in our inventory: The Complete Trailsmart Maps: National Parks of the USA. It's not actually a book, it's a collection of CDs with maps of all the national parks. You can trace out a route you think you might want to hike, and the software will tell you the distance, elevation gain, and so on.

It's sweet but it's Windows-only software, so you, gentle customer, are in luck. This gem is out on the shelves for half off list price. It's a bargain, even if you're only going to use it to daydream this winter.--David E
