Baja Almanac
I would suppose that their own website: www.baja-almanac.com would be the most authoritative source. It says they're sold out and uncertain when they'll publish again. It doesn't sound
too encouraging.
It makes me glad that I bought quite a few years ago when they were popular. At the time, they had some sort of volume deal that made them pretty
cheap. One Christmas, I gave out Six sets, leaving me with four.

The word is 'delayed indefinately', but probably a few months... Landon wants to survey the entire peninsula to fix any errors he knows the Mexican
mapmakers have made...
I saw some for sale recently at ... sorry, don't recall!

WHAT?!
he wants to "survey the entire peninsula" before he puts out a new one? Seems like that could take a spell. Maybe I should have my old
Almanac laminated and reassembled.

Always buy two or more!
One for marking on... one for investment!
I have an untouched Baja Atlas (the BIG one) I found at a used book store for $8...!!! My original from '86 is quite worn!

Wow, thanks for the reminder. I haven't seen the one I paid for in April. Last time I heard from them was August. Sure wish they would poop or get off
the pot.

ALMANAC
I saw a Baja Almanac in Libros Libros Libros off the cathederal square in La Paz about 2 weeks ago. If they ever OFFICIALLY go out of print, I am sure
there are lots of Nomads who have carefully-scanned pristine copies for use in their computers.
I have been superimposing my GPS maps onto Google Earth satellite shots using FUGAWI software - awesome! (and a lot more accurate than BA . . .)
No - not being snotty - I owe a great deal to Baja Almanac for helping me survive early expeditions, and hope to see another edition.

Not for Sale
It wasn't me on Ebay (I know you were joking). I don't bother with Nickel and Dime stuff like that. I'll keep my two spares until the day I decide
to Give them away to a friend. I'd much rather do that than make some loose change.

We are hearing that no one knows when.
As of last week, there were two at Finisterre Hotel in San Lucas and one in Trader Dicks in San Jose. The one at TD's was $40.
I think that Chuck in Los Barriles has some, if anyone knows how to get in touch with him.
We get requests almost daily for them. Sure wish we had the new ones!

Baja Explorer Atlas
I still have a rather ratty copy of the larger, earlier almanac. How do these compared with the newer, smaller version? Is the old one less accurate?
It's certainly not a convenient driving size.............

The older big 'Baja Atlas' was more acurate, more detail... Just wasn't convenient for travel... Thus, the smaller Almanac.

Need 2 copies of Almanac

(1) I had bought 2 copies and lent them to family when they traveled to CSL 2x. Each time they were misplaced.  Anyway, I have none now and been following the website for 10+ months and still no new release date set. I even
signed up for e-mail notification. DOES ANYONE WISH TO SELL A COPY? E-Bay search resulted in zero hits.
(2) I'm an avid Google Earth user and created several image overlays using scanned copies from the almanac (giving proper credit to the publisher and
encouraging people to buy their own copies of the almanac). Now I cannot continue my Baja KMZ topo overlay project on the GE BBS ... http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/351... ... http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/510...
(3) For those of you interested in baja history, I have created a very thorough KMX file entitled "El Camino Real de las Misioneros de las
Californias" for your 3-D viewing & enjoyment ... http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/320...
CYA in 2007.
