Review
Besides being a comprehensive guide to the AT and its supporting services, what I really think it amazing about the new Guide is the way in which David collects and manages all of the information in it. There is an enormous amount of information in the Guide about the trail itself, hiker hostels, restaurants, resupply options, health care, vets, transportation, outfitters, gear manufacturers, water sources, shelters, and so on. This is a guy who is making a lot of phone calls to keep this information up to date, in addition to visiting trail towns, and handing out GPS devices to thru-hikers who send him back coordinates to include in the book. I know some map makers, and trust me, this kind of information management is an art form. On top of keeping all of this data organized, accurate and linked together (map and GPS coordinates, elevation data and town services), David is invested in making the Guide easy to use and read, applying the visual principals of Edward Tufte to the display and organization of the information on the page. It shows. --SectionHiker.com

Excellent format, so-so accuracy
By nehiker
I used this guide for a 240-mile hike from Swatara Gap, PA, to Thornton Gap, VA. After the trip, I bought the Thru-Hiker's Companion for a direct comparison of the descriptions for this section. I would say that the AT Guide is way better in terms of the presentation and contains more data, but appears to be less accurate on the important points.
Neither of the books is a replacement for maps; they contain only mileage data and information needed to hike the trail (including about nearby towns). Maps are not needed to hike the AT or even helpful (with the possible exception of the White Mountains in NH). I like maps, so I used to bring the maps from the AT section guides, but this becomes less practical for hiking long distances, so I skipped them this time.
The AT guide is more compact in size and (at least almost) fits in a one-quart ziploc bag; it saves quite a bit of space by putting the elevation profile in background. The Companion certainly does not fit in a one-quart ziploc bag. It has finally added the elevation profile, but not as background (and so requires extra space).
The AT guide comes in 4 different formats, north/south-bound and book/loose pages; the Companion comes in only one version (NB book). While it is not a huge deal, it is certainly nice to use a SB version if you are going SB. It appears that the SB version is produced by computer from the NB version, which results in some nearby places listed out of order, but this is rarely an issue (SoBo mile 1162.8 is one example).
The AT guide alternates mileage pages with information pages; the Companion does this state-by-state, so there could be quite a few pages between where you are on the mileage pages and the information pages. On the other hand, the Companion has more background information on shelters, etc.; it is useless for hiking, but could be somewhat entertaining.
The AT guide contains way more mileage points on the trail. This can make one feel good about making progress, though they often seem made up (listing mileage down to a tenth of a mile and elevation down to a foot). For example, the Washington Monument at 1146.3 is not .1 mile off the trail, but at most 100 feet. The three locations at 1162.8 are spread out over at least .2 mile, I would guess. The two trails to Blackburn AT Center listed at 1178.2 are .2 mile apart as well. There are 2 trails to each of Myron Glaser Cabin and Sky Meadows State Park Visitors Center, about a mile apart in both cases, but the book lists only one in each case, at 1197.4 and 1202.2, respectively. In general, whether certain trail features (such as streams and side trails) are listed seems to be random.
On the other hand, some important information in the AT guide is sometimes inaccurate or missing. For example, the AT guide claims that one of the stores at Keys Gap, WV (SB mile 1172) is a long-term resupply. In fact, the Sweet Springs store is a small convenience store at a gas station. While the difference in food for a few days was a minor inconvenience for me, I was not able to buy good (waterproof) bandaids there or even DEET (they ran out of the latter and do not stock the former). While the AT guide is usually fairly accurate when describing the water situation at the shelters, sometimes this information is either quite a bit off or is simply missing. One example is the Tom Floyd Shelter (1222.6), where the water is a steep .2 mile hike down. The Companion is correct in both of these regards and I have not noticed any errors or important missing information; the Companion also seems to list more motels/hotels (e.g. in Cascade, MD).
On page 127 of the SB guide, Memorial and Labor Day are switched twice.
I have told a number of thru-hikers of the accuracies I found in the AT Guide. They were not surprised and told me that they call it ``the book of lies." Nevertheless, 90-95% of them use this book.
If you like to have a paper copy of a guide and carry a smart phone, I would suggest buying the AT Guide and downloading the pdf of the Companion (available directly from ALDHA); both are pretty cheap relatively speaking.

The only guide you need for the AT.
By Aaron
This is everything and more than you need for a SOBO AT thru or section hike. There were a few errors and typos where the page numbers were off but it wasn't a big deal. This as town maps, phone numbers, businesses, water sources, shelters, campsites, road crossings and a nice elevation profile. I used the bound edition and kept it in two ziplock bags for my thru hike. It got really wet once but I finished the entire trail with the book still intact. I know AWOL and several other people spend countless hours each year updating this and it really shows. AWOL is the man!

Mileage seemed a bit off in certain areas but overall ...
By Clinton
Mileage seemed a bit off in certain areas but overall it was extremely helpful. Using this book I was able to plan on the go since the trail likes to ignore your original plans. If you're going, you need this book.
