Bishop Bouldering Guidebook Situation?

So, it seems like Wills Young's guidebook is unavailable now, at least online.

Is there a good alternative? An electronic copy? Or is it still available in the local shops when I arrive?

Thanks!

I doubt everyone in Bishop is sold out. Call the following shops:

Wilson's
Mammoth Gear Exchange
Spellbinder Books

I have even seen the guide at Manor Market.

The book is temporarily out of print. Wolverine is printing more, but it is unlikely that they will be available until at least the end of the month. As far as I know, all of the shops in Bishop are sold out, but Wilson's has a few available to rent for the meantime.

Sunrise Mountain Sports in Livermore likely has 3-5 copies. They are the forgotten gem of the bay area mtn. shops.

As of this afternoon Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder has a copy of the second edition.

I saw a few copies in Mammoth last week, at the mountaineering shop.
