About this Item

This is signed in black pen by Fred Beckey on the title page. The book is also inscribed and signed by George R. Sainsbury on the blank FFEP, dated at time of publication and inscribed/signed to his daughter(?) who is acknowledged as having typed several proofs (see acknowledgements page). Sainsbury was the chairman and chief editor for the production of this greatly rewritten edition. His signature is much less common than Beckey's in this book (only seen 3 examples signed by Sainsbury in over 40 years of searching). The book is in fine condition, probably used only at home. Binding is tight. Covers are clean without rubbing. There are no previous owner marks or writing on any pages (other than Sainsbury's signed inscription and Beckey's signature). Pages are clean and bright. No foxing on any pages. This is the third incarnation (1961) of Fred Beckey's long-running series of climbing guide books to the Cascades. It is the last of the small size editions by Beckey measuring 168mm tall x 112mm, and the first brown one (previous issues were green cloth). It has 386 pages, several sketch diagrams, & 8 b/w photo plates, folding map at rear. The map is in nice condition. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK BEING OFFERED. Seller Inventory # 003149
