Summary: A *** Classic *** and a must-read for all serious X-C skiers
Review: I agree with JP in Michigan's insightful analysis of this wonderful x-c skiing book. Trully dated, anyone with a trace of the 'old x-c skiing ethic should try to get a copy of this book, read it, and take the lesson to heart. (but you can't have my copy).

Summary: The only humorous, insightful, literary XC book out there!
Review: This book is dated. Pure 60's, 70's. --The kind of dating that "outdoor sport" needs now. TCCSCLPB is the only book about the *WHY* of XC, and it goes pretty deep. It's also whimsical. If you're looking for something other than How-To or Ultra Mountain Dude in the way of XC books, this is just about it, folks. Nice photos. Includes spoofery of the XC how-to book genre as well as its rampant consumerism and much other just plain fun. Actually, I suspect the listing on Amazon is just an ISBN gleaning. I *SERIOUSLY* doubt it's in print. I rank it as VERY hard to find and collectible. So much for high tech! :)
