Detailed Product Description
New York, 1989, 1st ed. 216 pp, 175 color photos. Large format hardcover with dust jacket which is slightly faded on the spine. Book is flawless, Fine. Overall Near Fine.

This is an oversize book. Extra postage will be requested for Media Mail, Priority Mail or International Mail. 

An informative, absorbing literary and visually breathtaking publication! "Leo Le Bon has spent his life seeking out the earth's most inaccessible places-and daring others to follow. A superb photographer, whether among the granite spires of Patagonia or the eternal snows of the Himalaya, he captures the mystery of the world's highest and most spectacular peaks. 

Choosing from over 2,000 of his own photographs, Le Bon makes the ultimate statement on the joys of mountains-whether climbing them or viewing their grandeur from below-in this lavishly illustrated book. 175 full-color photographic illustrations with accompanying descriptive captions.

Included are the sensational peaks, such as Mt. Everest and the Matterhorn, known to us all. Also featured are many dramatic, lesser-known peaks in Chile, Argentina, Pakistan, China, the Soviet Union, Morocco, Algeria, Tanzania, and elsewhere that remain the haunts of only the most adventurous travelers.  

'Majestic Mountains' is not about how to climb (although an equipment list and travel tips are included for each continent). Rather, Le Bon presents the climbing history of each of the thirty mountains featured and describes the special attractions of each of these peaks-why they lure climbers and lovers of nature."
