About this Item
Rare first issue copy of the seminal mountaineering book, issued in 1941 with red price sticker of 4/6 intact. Aimed at young people it rapidly became a climbing bible to all, in the explosion in the pursuit's popularity post WW2. Kirkus himself was killed in that conflict. The book is very good, with some papery deposits to the contents page but very clean and tight inside with no marks or inscriptions. No foxing and nice blue tint to top edge. The jacket is good with some losses, as expected, but largely intact, very presentable and now all protected. Seller Inventory # 1382

Free 48-hour tracked shipping within the UK for all orders.
In the UK, we normally use Royal Mail. POSTAGE IS FREE WITHIN THE UK.
Different postage rates are applied at checkout for customers ordering from outside the UK. The rates shown are INDICATIVE ONLY based on packages of up to 2kg. Exceptions will be discussed on a case by case basis. POSTAGE MAY BE ADJUSTED UP OR DOWN and you may receive a notification advising a change of charge to your payment method.
We deliberately recycle packaging. Your books will be given much care and attention before dispatch and will be sent in pre-used materials.
As a matter of course, all our books are cleaned sensitively, researched, catalogued, photographed and thus treated with the respect a vintage artefact deserves. We then re-cover most of our books in new, industry standard protective wrappers. These are inert, acid-free, and will not harm the book or dust jacket. We don't do this only if there is already a clean and serviceable wrapper on the book, or if to remove a previous covering would cause damage.
