Looking for recommendations for books on Yosemite. I've already read the following
The Vertical World of Yosemite - Galen Rowell
Camp 4 - Steve Roper
Climbing Free - Lynn Hill
Thanks

Thanks guys, that was very helpful.
Why is it that every time I ask a real question on this site I get asinine responses?
Maybe I would get more responses if I asked how to set up a top rope. Or maybe something about how trad climbing is so much cooler than sport climbing.

Well you asked an open ended question without any specifics.
Do you want books on the history of the valley? Flora and fauna? Climbing stories? Accident reports? Guidebooks?
Go to freaking amazon and type in Yosemite.

Don't know why everyone has to be such a smartass here.
