To order the A.T. Companion, plus other books and lots of other trail-related stuff, contact the Appalachian Trail Conservancy for a catalog from The Ultimate Trail Store. You can call in, write, e-mail or fax your order. The ATC now has an online home page to view all of its merchandise and place direct orders. The Web site address for the Trail Store is http://www.atctrailstore.org/. The toll-free ATC phone number (for placing orders only) is (888) AT-STORE. The fax number is (304) 535-2667.
While hiking the trail, you can find these books, publications and other hiking supplies at vendors who operate along various sections of the A.T. All of them are listed in the A.T. Companion, but briefly, the major ones on or near the trail are as follows:
The Walasi-Yi Center at Neels Gap, Ga.; Mount Rogers Outfitters in Damascus, Va.; SunDog Outfitters in Damascus; Cabela's in Hamburg, Pa.; Backcountry Outfitters in Kent, Conn.; and the Mountain Goat in Williamstown, Mass., and Manchester Center, Vt.
