Top Ten Adirondack Books

I have a number of books that publishers have sent me for reviews and those will be on the way, but in the meantime, I thought I would take a look at what folks interested in the Adirondacks are reading. So here is what I discovered, the top ten Adirondack related books on Amazon:

#1 - Peter Bronski, At the Mercy of the Mountains: True Stories of Survival and Tragedy in New York's Adirondacks

#2 - Anne LaBastille, Woodswoman: Living Alone in the Adirondack Wilderness

#3 - Bill McKibben, Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across America's Most Hopeful Landscape:Vermont's Champlain Valley and New York's Adirondacks (Crown Journeys)

#4 - Barbara McMartin, 50 Hikes in the Adirondacks: Short Walks, Day Trips, and Backpacks Throughout the Park, Fourth Edition

#5 - Tony Goodwin, Adirondack Trails High Peaks Region (Forest Preserve Series, V. 1)

#6 - Jerry C. Jenkins, The Adirondack Atlas: A Geographic Portrait of the Adirondack Park

#7 - Carl Heilman, The Adirondacks

#8 - Ralph Kylloe, Adirondack Home

#9 - Paul Schneider, The Adirondacks: A History of America's First Wilderness

#10 - Philip G. Terrie, Contested Terrain: A New History of Nature and People in the Adirondacks (A New Edition)

I thought I was doing pretty well keeping up with my Adk books, but I only have five of the ten bought and read. Thanks for the list - I have to get over to Amazon and order some books.

I know. I can't keep up either.

When you do buy, click through Adirondack Almanack! -grin-
