In addition to all of the more than 90 rivers and runs from the previous edition, the 3rd edition of the Alaska River Guide includes new detailed descriptions of the runs of the Nenana Gorge, Upper Alatna, Tlikakila, Eagle, and Upper Chena, and other rivers. It also includes 13 new runs:

Delta Clearwater River
Kantishna River and Moose Creek
Chulitna River
Gulkana River and Middle Fork Gulkana River
Little Nelchina River, Nelchina River, and Tazlina River
Matanuska River
Willow Creek and Little Willow Creek
Stikine River

The 3rd edition also includes information on the application process for a Tatshenshini River permit. The entire book has been updated with websites and contact info, updated Leave No Trace info, detailed information on wildlife and fish species found on each river, and more history and archeology for some rivers.

P.S. Sorry for the self-serving rating, but I couldn't post the review without completing a rating!

Summary of Alaska River Guide: Canoeing, Kayaking, and Rafting in the Last Frontier (Canoeing & Kayaking Guides - Menasha)

The rich tapestry of Alaska is threaded together by 365,000 miles of waterways, from cascading mountain streams to meandering valley rivers, from the meltwaters of glaciers to broad rivers that empty into the sea. This guide profiles a wide variety of rivers from all over Alaska, concentrating on trips for intermediate boaters, and including a few major expeditions for the experienced river-runner. A section on gear outlines what to take into the backcountry.
