I had this book in the 1970's and it was stolen, so I was very glad to find another of the same book. It would take thousands of hours and incalcuable money to research and find all of the locations listed in this book. It is not only great historical reading, it is an accurate map to places now no longer recalled in other books, and some beautiful places to camp and "beachcomb" for antique bottles and artifacts. I took so many great photos of the remains of camps and ghost towns I found from following the directions in this book. I even found homes with wallpaper still on the walls, bank safes left behind at the vacating of towns, and no longer known telegraph lines across the desert. If you love the open desert as I do..find this book !
The book was printed on good quality paper and well bound. It covers the Ghost Towns & Mining Camps of Nevada quite thoroughly. I especially liked that there were good directions on exactly how to reach the locations described in the book. There were also a lot of pictures showing how one of the United States most interesting states used to look. Nevada is one of the few states you can still explore with little fear of trespassing or getting hassled by landowners. Please remember to pack out your trash, and leave gates like you found them.
