I know this is an old post, but I just found it!

Thank you for mentioning my journal entry about AT books. I'm glad you
found it useful. I had to delete that entry from my journal because I
have written a book of my own, and did not want to have it perceived as
bad-mouthing the competition. Also, my views on those books evolved
since doing my thru-hike.

My book is "Awol on the Appalachian Trail" available from
www.AWOLontheTrail.com and other internet booksellers. There are many books
out there, but obviously I felt as though I could offer something
different. The primary attributes that set my book apart are quality
and completeness. I spent more time on writing than I did hiking! I
did NOT just slap a cover on a journal. I strived to find the most
meaningful and entertaining experiences from the trail and to relay them
concisely. The book has 42 pictures that are placed immediately
following the relevant text, and it has maps and footnotes offering
supplemental information. The book is funny, inspiring, informative,
contemporary, and it covers a complete thru-hike.
