Eastern Sierra local guidebooks??

I'm planning a mid-June trip to ski a bunch of stuff off Tioga road this year and since I have 10 days I think it would be nice to mix things up and climb some classic granite. Any guidebook recommendations for the area? I googled and found a bunch of stuff but as usual, local recommendation would be better. I find planning base on the Proj only to be pretty challenging and the guidebook helps pass time on the drive. Thoughts from the collective?? Seems like the 2014 Mammoth Area Rock Climbs and maybe the Owen's river + Bishop areas would cover all my options?

I have this one:   http://maximuspress.com/shop/proddetail.php?prod=BARC and it's great for round valley, Alabama hills, bishop area, so on.  Not the prettiest guidebook, but inclusive and straight forward.

Thanks guys, looks like between Mammoth area & Bishop area I should have about 30 lifetimes worth of rock to pick from. On top of the skiing...
