They’re kinda a funny mix of too much and not enough info for the typical tourist heading to do some hiking or backpacking. It’s probably not ideal that they are the most popular guidebooks of the area but that’s the reality.
For the experienced they’re definitely a good source of ideas and possible info haha. It’s also funny how many words he packs in there...those little dots on the maps are pretty much what makes them worth it. my favorite Kelsey experience is trying to match the hand drawn maps with a real map and feeling very confident and then getting out there and it’s always a couple little drainages over Just treat it as there’s a good chance it goes somewhere in the vicinity and figure it out on your own.
