Seattle, 1982, 1st US edition. 264 pp, 34 color plates, maps, illustrations. Navy cloth hardcover with dust jacket. There is no writing in the book or other flaws, and the dust jacket has no tears or chips and is not price clipped. The Dust Jacket is now protected by a removable Brodart clear plastic jacket cover. The Dust Jacket and the Book are in Fine condition. Many books that we describe as Fine are actually in New condition. The DJ is still glossy. The book and DJ are faded and not soiled.
Over half the books we sell as used books or Signed books that are signed by the author or climber were originally sold by us to a book collector or reader when the book was new, usually the same year as the first edition. He or she has recently sold the book back to us so it has never suffered the indignity of having been bought and sold several times over the years, so it is still in New shape.
