Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. DOUBLE SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY BOTH AUTHORS, IN BLACK PEN, ON HALF TITLE PAGE 'To Johns, Here's Somewhere where Freedom stops being imaginary Brian Keenan John McCarthy'. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£16.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 346pp, illustrated. In 1986 Brian Keenan and John McCarthy were forced to take a journey without maps. For the next four years they were incarcerated in a Lebanese dungeon. From the blank outlook of a tiny cell, with only each other and a few volumes of an ancient American encyclopaedia to sustain them, they could only wander the wide open spaces of their imagination. To displace the ugly confines of their existence, they envisaged walking in the High Andes and across the wastes of Patagonia. Five years after their return Brian and John chose to travel together again to see how the reality of Chile matched their imagination and to revisit their past experiences. They journeyed by every means available through vast empty deserts, verdant plains and barren tundra. 'Between Extremes' is the story of that journey which once more found them far from home, in an unfamiliar landscape but which for the first time allowed them to live by their own rules. Scarce double signed. Jacket and photos by Tom Owen Edmunds (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…

Cloth Hardbacks. Condition: Fair. No Jackets. First Original Printings. An old and faded used library set de-acquisitioned some years ago from an old school "Arrowview Junior High School in San Bernardino". Definate wear - one volume in a much darker binding. some interior joints cracked - yet book blocks are still tight ( I think a little glue could go a long way - but not necessary). Has the ex-library markings and pockets. One of the volumes has some threads going up the spine at the outside joint and that volume has the inside joint cracked as well - but could be glued and is still tight without glue. A complete set with the neat maps and illustrations. A researchers set and not a "show" set for collectors. Kind of hard to find alll the set at once. Would be nice to go back into a local area library and worthwhile . . . Size: 8vos - over 7¾" - 10" Tall.…
