Yes

How many this time RKM? ;)

Shelf Road, I believe, circa late ‘90s. Fred Knapp. 

Correct

Cover photo may give it away. 

Nearly your namesake...

Makes my fingers hurt just lookin'!

You are correct, Brian. My “hometown” crag. Just across the border. 

You got it, Dan.  American grit!

Had to do a little research, but it's True Grit: Cooper's Rock Climbing Guide

Did Lisa pen that?  Ha ha.

Edit to add:  I run into Lisa and Steve in the grocery store every now and again.  Not too long ago, caught them at Momentum and Lisa was belaying Steve on some hard route and he was really givin' 'er.  She says, "ahh...I love those shoulders".

My copy has a green cover.  What year/edition is that?

Nice! Thought it might be too obscure, or too old at least. My copy is from 1992 and, yeah, topos and cover illustration by Lisa Gnade.

Edit hint:  same state as the previous guidebook.  Unhelpful hint:  guidebook author is married to an old high school/college friend's daughter.

Whoa man, it’s indeterminable.  What were you planning with all these crackups.  Or did you work at Great Pacific Ironworks in the 70’s and got paid with these?  

If that's sandstone, my guess is Rock Springs/Green River area.

Nope...further north.  Namesake is a town where you can see an impressive collection of military vehicles.

Ha! I was gonna say Dubois but hadn't heard of anyone climbing the sandstone around there. Does that guide include anything on Togwotee Pass?

Dubois rock 

damn you beat me to it; trail lake pinnacle I think is what the tower is called
