50 Hikes in Central Pennsylvania: Day Hikes and Backpacking Trips, Fourth Edition (50 Hikes Series) by Tom Thwaites
It's hard to know how to rate this; it advertises that it includes 50 hikes, and indeed it does. I suppose if I have a complaint it's that the book is in black and white, which is a shame, as there are photographs here which would look great in color.
50 Hikes in Eastern Pennsylvania: From the Mason-Dixon Line to the Poconos and North Mountain, Fourth Edition by Tom Thwaites
As one would expect, many of the trail descriptions are no longer 100% accurate - be flexible, creative, and patient!
Book is arranged by region and by length/duration of hike, which is useful.

More of a review and handy guide than a reading book this is worthwhile to plan hikes in eastern Pennsylvania.
