PREFACE Here at The Hot Springs Gazette, we receive more inquiries about this, The Good Book, than any other topic. Our readers report that the previous reprint of the directory, Great Hot Springs of the West, has gone out of print, along with its prede cessor, which was advertised in the Whole Earth Catalogue. Looks like someone has to do it, so may we present The Hot Springs Gazette edition of The Good Book. Ta-da. You may notice that it's cleaner and leaner than previous editions. Our aim was to make it backpack-size, yet to keep the typesetting as large as possible. We have therefore omitted the bibliographical references (which are useless _for our purposes here) and the individual geological notes (for which we apolo gize). Its improvements over earlier editions include more con venient map placement, inclusion of hot springs in the Eastern and Southern states (Alaska and Hawaii directories are avail able upon request), and a gaggle of little creatures, mostly frogs. Since this book was originally published over 40 years ago, you may find some of the material dated. Olympic Hot Springs (Washington #3), for instance, is called a resort in the remarks, but has since returned to its natural state. Unhappily, the reverse is usually the case. Be warned. Also, you'll notice that the directions to some of the springs say, "in sec. 17, T .4S., R. 27 W." for example. These coordinates correspond to the charts published by the U.S. Geological Survey, or Topo maps for short. These are readily and reasonably purchased in map specialty shops and the better backpacking stores. Excluding The Hot Springs Gazette, divining rods and this book, you can't find a better tool for hunting hot springs. After you've found your hot spring, we urge you to dispatch its location and vital statistics to The Hot Springs Gazette and thus acquire a coveted lifetime subscription. We also welcome your dr in~s, photos, news clippings or any other hot spring related matter. We'll print your report or keep it in our classified file, whichever you please. P.O. Box 40124, Albuquerque, N.M. 87196. It's high time this information was updated and it can't be done without you, the bather. This is your big chance to participate in civilization, so don't muff it.
