I have one called Mountainbike America Greater Philadelphia. It's good and has detailed elevation and distance maps. Written by a local rider.

I do as well as the one that covers all of PA.  I find them to be pretty good and detailed.  They are helpful for areas you have never riden before (though I usually supplement with other resources such as message boards, bike shops, etc..).  Beware though, as they get older, rides can become outdated.  For example, rides that used to be legal on State Game Lands might be included, which are now off limits.

I've got it.  It covers Wiss, Pennypack and others locally, also Fair Hill and Middle Run.  It goes out to French Creek and has as whole section on Jim Thorpe, which may be out of date.  Pretty good maps and directions, with some decent pictures.
