Guidebook recommendations?

Howdy--I'm moving from California to Boulder in August for grad school and wanted to order some guidebooks (to leave by my toilet) to start getting stoked on the climbing around there. Looking for recommendations as to which to buy. I'll be living there for at least 5 years so in-depth guides are definitely preferred to best-of guides.

Oh, and I don't really like to boulder so trad/sport route guides are preferred :)

Thanks in advance

Check out Fixed Pin Publishing's website as well. They have several Colorado guidebooks.

Hey Richard!

Check out this book by Gerry Roach, Flat Iron Classics.

Here's a good article/interview on the author if you are looking for anything else to read on the head.
