Some of the libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library System may have other editions.

thanks for your note! I don't know what if any difference there is between the 1st and 3rd addition, but I am really hoping to locate an example of the last addition in 1976 as I know it expands the coverage of CT mines to at least central CT. I should contact some SW CT/ SE NY libraries to see if any have the latest addition.
-Thanks, Kevin

Well, yes I've unfortunately had much experience with faulty collecting guides. I remember one from NY a while back that I thought went out of the way to give bad directions! I always take them with a grain of salt. At this point, any older CT guide will necessarily be faulty as half the localities will be under "golf courses" !!! :)
But thanks for the heads up.
-Take care, Kevin

I reviewed the "bizzaro" book mentioned and said that the maps looked like they were made with an Etch-a-Sketch toy. I mentioned what I thought were serious errors, but the review was "lost" by the magazine as the authors were also advertisers. Sigh!

I believe that I have seen a copy of one of those later guidebooks authored by someone else, and it looks as if parts had been copied, but that some details (such as road direction and distances) had been left out. This phenomenon (of copying but leaving out essential details such as distances) is not new to the guidebook world; I have seen such poor copies of other guidebooks by different authors. However, I believe that Januzzi wrote his directions based upon reality, and checked them to make sure they were, for the most part, correct. I think I recall his mentioning something to that effect, in response to my query about a certain locality (I last saw him a little over a year ago; and though he was then in his early 80s, his mind was as sharp as ever). He has since moved back to Colorado, where he may still be researching minerals and mineralogy.
