Howodd, your post took me back to the good old days when we got to places by following directions like, "If you come to a burned-out white pickup
you've gone too far, go back to where you could first see the Gulf and take the first right."
GPS is safer but that was funner.

a couple of my buddies, Frijolero, for one, got his map books in the mail before Thanksgiving and new Baja Almanac is missing complete whole pages
from his, such as page #2 is missing and the left half of page #2 is mixed up with the right half of page #3 and the page numbered "iii" is printed
where the right hand of page #4 should be...
he said he's waiting for Landon to call him back or return his email  he
said all his new map books are exactly the same, we just spent 30 minutes comparing almanacs, the second printing must have been printed under the
influence...or he was sitting there smiling saying "I'll get those guys," maybe he printed the second set when the shipment of wine arrived after
cashing my check for the first batch I purchased...

I got my three at Discover Baja Travel Club within a week of their being made available (first ones sold were in San Felipe, posted on Nomad)... and
all was there... bajalou found the latitude number errors on maps 5, 6, 7. I found latitude number errors on maps 12, 18... and El Golfo de Santa
Clara is spelled Gulfo (but that isn't even in Baja).
So Landon did miss having some proof checking of his work done... but sounds like your friend got really a fried up version!
Take it to Discover Baja (as the only U.S. distributor we know of at the monment) and see if they will just exchange his and give the mis-printed ones
back to Landon when they see him again.
The maps are good... better than the last edition other than the typo or printing errors with the latitude figures along the sides of the maps named.

2009 Almanac latitude corrections to pencil in:
On Maps 5 & 6, the latitude changes to make: All the 31º figures needs to be 30º (the minutes are fine).
On Map 7: All the 31º figures need to be changed to 29º and the one 30º figure needs to be 28º.
Map 12 [RIGHT side only] latitude figures are wrong, they should be the same numbers as on the left side.
Map 18 degree figures on both sides are wrong: the 25º figures should all be 24º, and the 26º figures should all be 25º.
