Thanks for suggestion! As for libraries, I think (know) I live in an outlier area. Affluent and very educated in terms of degrees. So, the libraries get a lot of use for print and ebooks. But, as you said, tg at is not typical. Too bad, the intetlibrary loans are a fantastic resource.

Libraries don’t get much use these days. Used to be you could only check out 4 or 5 books at a time. Now our library allows 30 books at a time, and there’re aren’t as many books as there were 30 or 40 years ago… about 1/3 of the space is now dedicated to DVDs and CDs.

Here’s another you will probably like…

Canyons and Ice, The Wilderness Travels of Dick Griffith

I read a book on Everett Ruess a few years back. I must confess I forget the exact title.

I will check it out. Have you read Everett Ruess: His Short Life, Mysterious Death, and Astonishing Afterlife?
