How many editions of this book do you own?,

This review is from: The Canadian Rockies Trail Guide: A Hiker's Guide to Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay, Waterton Lakes, Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine, Peter Lougheed, Elk Lakes and Akamina-Kishinena par (Paperback)
This book is the standard reference to hiking trails in the national parks of the Canadian Rockies. It's so indispensable that experienced hikers will often have multiple editions of this book, in order to stay current.This edition, the seventh, is a more comprehensive revision than usual. Coverage has been expanded to include several provincial parks (including Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Kananaskis area, a welcome and overdue addition). There are more maps, and they've been redone: trails are numbered for easy reference. Plus updates and revisions throughout. Owners of previous editions will find it worthwhile to get this one as well. As with previous editions, the interior photos are black and white and the package is by no means flashy, but this is a reference to be sworn by and used. It's always better to see the mountains close up, anyway. Pack this book along with your topo maps. I wouldn't be caught dead on a trail in Banff National Park without it!

If you are buying only one trail guide for the Canadian Rockies, this is the one to get. The current seventh edition has been reprinted with revisions in 2002 and is still the only trail guide that includes all of the mountain national parks as well as some trails in adjoining provincial parks. The trails listed for the Kananaskis area (Peter Lougheed Provincial Park) are limited in number but are a good selection for visitors with limited time.

The ninth edition (2011) is out and is great. I bought it for $24.95 Canadian at a book store in Banff National Park. It was the suggested retail price. Why purchase an old version?
