Squamish guide book?

I'm finally making a trip to Squamish, late August (22-30) this year. I'm primarily going to be climbing easy to moderate stuff (probably up to 5.9 trad, 5.10b sport), and definitely looking at some multi-pitch trad climbs. Not planning to boulder at all, so not looking for a bouldering guide.

So, what is available as guide books/topos currently? What would be my best choice? What are the pluses/minuses of the various guide books available?

Thanks

Squamish Select by Marc Bourbon. QuickDraw publications

August has the perfect weather! I've been there for two weeks in August and it rained once.

Check out the Apron on the Chief, smoke bluffs and Cal Creek for the routes you're looking for.

End thread. That guidebook should be the guidebooks to which all others are judged!

Thanks for the info. I've heard that Apron was a good choice already, thanks for the suggestions on the others.
