Books

I love books and am always on the lookout for good ones. Here are some that I've found especially useful and interesting.

North Carolina Waterfalls by Kevin Adams. This is the definitive guide to most (if not all) the waterfalls in North Carolina. I doubt that there is a waterfall in NC that is not covered by this book or the website North Carolina Waterfalls..
