I have been trying for the last week to get a hold of someone at Pebble Publishing to get a copy of the 10th edition of the Katy trail book for our upcoming ride. I have emailed and called numerous times with no answer back. The answering machine said they started mailing the book in August. Any suggestions on how I can get hold of them and/or the book?

Amazon or eBay

I got an email in aug. saying they will ship sept. 10. I sent an email saying I had to have to the book at that time & she responded saying she had my order & will ship then. I think I'm going to send another & see if they are still shipping then.

Correction: just reread my email said they will ship the 9th. Oldest orders first. I sent an email asking if they were still going to be shipped then. I'll let you know what the reply is.
Amazon or eBay don't have this latest edition.

Thanks mornin' glory! It sounds like you are in the same situation I am in. We are riding next month, but I would love to have it in the next coming weeks. I emailed and called again today. Hopefully they will get back to me tomorrow. I just thought it was strange as I am wanting to give them $$ and they are not calling back!
 
mornin'glory from Ridgedale MO on 9/9/2013 3:53:24 PM:
She didn't reply to my email so I just called. She said she got notification from the printer fri & was getting ready to send emails out saying they won't get the books til NEXT week & are planning on sending them the 20th. I want the trip planned by the end of this month. I don't want to wait til right before I leave. I've never done anything like this. I want to know what I'm doing & have a plan b ready if neccessary. This is irrating me to no end. It's almost getting too late to get info from other sources at this point.

Unless you just want the blurbs about the history of all the little towns along the way, this website in my opinion is a better source than the book. I've had the book, sold it long ago. It gets dated and then is of little value.

Read through this site, the FAQ, services in the towns, search this forum, and ask here if you need to and you should do fine. Most of the trailheads have boards up that explain about the trail and history of the area. Read those too if you want to and you won't miss having the book. Plus you'll have some extra green in your pocket.

Ditto what Trek said. I bought the book a few years ago before our first trip, but ended up using it only to learn a little about the towns as we passed through them. All our planning then and now is done using the Mileage Chart, Towns & Services, and Trip Planner pages on this site.

Good news - the updated and revised Complete Katy Trail Guidebook, 10th edition, will be available this Friday (Sept. 20, 2013). We do have a small mountain of backorders but will have them all in the mail Friday and Saturday.
The updated edition has extensive updates to services. We've included about 50 new photos, new maps, mileage charts, shuttle information, and more. If you have a pending backorder, it will ship out Friday. The book is available at www.pebblepublishing.com.
Best wishes for some great Katy adventures this fall!

I have found the best plan is to have no plan at all.Everything does not have to be put neatly into little boxes. Plans seem to rush your mood........

On the other hand....I love my plans! They help me relax.

Probably not an accident that the previous post about not liking plans was made by "lone wolf".

The KATY Trail is big enough for all of us. I think that's awesome.

Enjoy!

All of The Complete Katy Trail Guidebook backorders shipped out last Friday (September 20, 2013). Any future orders will ship out asap. The book underwent extensive updates. I've included a new fold-out map, 30 or more new photos, lots of additional service listings, new mileage charts and more. It is exciting to see so many new shuttles and other services popping up along the trail. I think it is especially helpful for those trying to plan how best to get from Clinton to Machens and then back again. The book is available at www.pebblepublishing.com.
