It'll get there eventually. I went backpacking across Europe for 9 weeks when I was in my 20s. Since I was carrying everything I owned on my back, every ounce counted. I had a huge Rick Steves travel guide, I split the binding and tore out just the sections I thought I would need. I really had to think hard before my trip started about what I wanted to take and what I wanted to leave. (same for other reading material like novels, btw.) Eventually I did end up in places where I had no "reference" at all. How great it would have been to carry the whole guide, plus ten more travel guides, plus a bunch of novels, without adding any weight at all.
