There are now hundreds of hillwalking guidebooks available, describing thousands of walks in detail, including many fine guides published by Cicerone Press. Probably the most authoritative and useful guides for hill baggers in Scotland are the guides to the Munros and the Corbetts published by the Scottish Mountaineering Trust, while for England and Wales the two books by John and Anne Nuttall, referenced above, are useful guidebooks as well as lists. There is also a guidebook to the Grahams, by Andrew Dempster, published by Mainstream. There is no guidebook to the Marilyns, and most baggers prefer it that way, but there is a series of guides to the Marilyns of England and Wales written by Alasdair Dibb and published by Mainstream in 2002:
England's highest peaks : a guide to the 2,000ft summits
The hills of Southern England : a guide to summits under 2,000ft
The hills of Northern England and the Isle of Man : a guide to summits under 2,000ft
The hills of the Midlands and South Pennines : a guide to summits under 2,000ft
Also of relevant specialist interest is:
The finest peaks: prominence and other mountain measures
by Adam Helman (2005), a detailed analysis of the concept of relative height.
