Best Volcano Guidebook

Wondering what guidebook people recommend for the Cascade Volcanoes. Is there one book that has enough info on each peak or should I get short books for each peak like I have with Rainier? 

Thanks.

Smoot's best climbs cascade volcanoes ebook is a good choice. Has all the classic routes. I've used it to climb routes on just about all of them without issue. And it's easy to pull up topos on your phone.

Depends where you're climbing, I've amassed a small library because its hard to find one with everything I'm interested in. The issue with one book for the whole range like Smoot's is that they usually have a route or two on each peak.

For Oregon volcanoes nothing beats Oregon High though. It's extremely comprehensive and has most of routes on each peak. It's out of print but if you keep an eye out used copies aren't too hard to come by

The Hood guidebook by Mullee is fantastic, highly recommended.

I second the Mullee book for Hood. Terrific!

For Washington the three Beckey books are classics that are comprehensive to the point of having relatively minimal route info at times, particularly for less technical or more obscure routes.
