Below is a copy/paste from Excel of all the guidebooks to the Midwest (MN, IA, WI, MI, IL, OH, IN, and eastern SD. I am leaving out MO this go around) that I know about. Don't mind the highlighted yellow cells, as those are the guides that I do not have currently, unless you have a copy that you would like to sell ;) So, my question to the internet is, what is missing from this list? please help me out. My life goal is to make a complete collection of every known published guide to the Midwest.

Well, the excel list didn't transpose all that well. DM me for the list and I'll email it to you.

Putting it in Google Sheets would probably be the easiest to share?

You should probably look for Tim Toula's "Rock 'N' Road" (two editions)

I can't see what you have and don't have. This is the first guide I ever purchased.

S.I.C Routes must be "Southern Illinois Climbing Routes," right?? I have never found any info on that one, though Jim Thurmond also wrote a couple guidebooks for Missouri (Granite Climbs of Missouri: The Silver Mines, Millstream Gardens, and Amidon (c) 2013 and Rock Climbs of Johnson Shut-Ins State Park (c) 2015.) The other books that I know you could add are Climber's Guide to Kankakee River State Park by Matthew and Andrew Nicodemus (c) 1979 from Illinois and Climbers Guide to the Mid South by Jim Detterline (c) 1982. Detterline's covers a bit in IL (Ghost Dance Canyon) but I'm not sure of the extent beyond that. Also the more recent and digital only Climbing on the Gunflint Trail by Carter Stritch (c) 2016, and Silver Creek Cliff Guidebook (unknown author and publishing date) for Minnesota, After adding all your research to my own library/want list (THANK YOU to you and Alex Buisse), I think I found some info on Dixie Crystals and Southern Rock: Dixie Crystals by Roid Waddle only covers North Carolina per this site. Dixie Crystals A Climber's Guide to Stone Mountain North Carolina by Roid Waddle. 1970's (estimate). Unpublished, photocopied. Unavailable. This early guide was a hand produced item distributed among a very limited group. Few copies remain. Despite it's vintage, it remains an excellent description of the routes and climbing even to this day. It also represents an archive of early climbing history in the southeast. As far as I know, it is completely unavailable.
They also mention Southern Rock by Chris Hall covering mainly Southeast states Southern Rock A Climber's Guide by Chris Hall. 1985, Published by East Woods Press Books, Fast & McMillan Publishers Inc. 820 East Boulevard, Charlotte, NC. Second Printing. Most likely, currently out of print. This comprehensive pocket sized guidebook can still be found in climbing shops, bookstores, and libraries across the south. It lists routes in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and both North and South Carolina. Though dated, the routes have not changed, and the book remains a useful guide to the classics.
I also think Wild Iowa on your list is Wild Iowa Sport Climbs Of The Central Maquoketa by Shawn Kintzle (c) 1997 if you need that extra info. Not sure which edition is 1997 though. Some of the ones on your list and mine are available digitally for anyone who wants them, including Climber's and Fishermans Guide to Gibraltar Rock by Roger Wiegand (c) 1971, 50 Short Climbs in the Midwest by Alan Bagg (c) 1978, Extremist's Guide to Devil's Lake New Climbing by Leo Hermacinski (c) 1985, GIT ON IT! by Eric Zschiesche (c) 1999, Rock Climbing: Minnesota and Wisconsin by Mike Farris (c) 2000, Duluth's Urban Cragger by Laura Peterson and Josh Wiese (c) 2004, Peter's Guide to Duluth Bouldering Peter Dodge (c) 2011, and A Guide to the Sandstone Ice Park by Carter Stritch (c) 2016. Climb Duluth put many up online.
