New York, 1958, 1st edition. Gray cloth hardcover with black titles and decoration and dust jacket. Other than the author's signature, there is no writing in the book or other flaws, and the dust jacket has no wear and is not price clipped. The Dust Jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear plastic jacket cover. The Dust Jacket and the Book are in Fine condition. This copy is SIGNED on the title page by Ed Hillary. A climbing and adventure anthology. Hillary told us he cannot remember editing this book! (Actually he had probably not seen this US edition, also published as The Boy's Book of Exploration). This is one of the less common books that Ed Hillary produced in the 55 years he lived after climbing Mount Everest in 1953. Edited by the conqueror of Everest, this is the collected accounts of twelve different explorers who dared mountains, the Antarctic, Africa, outer space and other inhospitable realms. Includes writings by Shackleton. Ralph Izzard (who combed the Himalays in search of the Abominable Snowman), Heyerdahl, Lindbergh, Heinrich Harrer and more.
