Only if there are wet Pacifico bottle marks on the pages.

I've got the big spiral bound copy that preceded the one you show. To me, its priceless. 
Forget about the danger and think of the fun.

All are great... the older ones are bigger scale and more detail than the newer (2009) one.

The "used books" prices on Amazon can be absurd. Fishing prices.
Be careful what you pay without doing thorough research elsewhere.
Used booksellers will happily enter negotiations on prices.

Baja books and maps are a treasure... Just when I thought I was done collecting, I ordered another book. LOL
Now, one collection I am far from complete with is the Dawson Baja California Traveler Series... I have been blessed to acquire this many... but the
entire set is still desired! The Railroads book became one in the series, but I have the original version, placed next to my Dawson books (whose
spines were printed in reverse from other books).

Yep! I had an original that someone "borrowed" never to be seen again. I missed it so jumped on the new one when it came out but still like the older
model. We did take a couple of the AAA maps of Baja Norte/Sur and mate them up for a door sized road map.

It *never* pays to loan out something that you will one day want back.
