Cicerone have just published a brand new guide book:

http://www.cicerone.co.uk/product/detail.cfm/book/611/title/mountaineering-in-the-moroccan-high-atlas

Whether you are just going to climb Toubkal, and are looking for a few tips, or intending to use it to the full and venture off the beaten track and start exploring some of those lesser known peaks;
this is a handy book to have.  The author has spent many years guiding in the Atlas Mountains, and has explored all of the peaks mentioned in the book.  This is the first serious contender to Michael Peyron's definitive guide, and as such comes highly  recommended.
