Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: Book shows only minute indications of use: there is a very superficial scuff at the bottom edge near the corner tip and the upper rear corner has been extremely mildly bumped; binding square and secure; text clean.

Profusely illustrated with brilliant Photography by Galen Rowell Bill Hatcher and Beth Wald. Hardback with DJ. Big Walls offers a unique view into a world of extraordinary high adventure in which fiercely driven climbers scale the highest and most beautiful rock faces on the planet. In this book renowned climber Paul Piana vividly recounts his and longtime climbing partner Todd Skinner's revolutionary first free-climbing ascents of the four premier rock faces of North America: El Capitan's Salathe Wall the Direct North West Face of Half Dome Wyoming's Mount Hooker and the Great Canadian Knife. Demanding remarkable inner confidence and instincts honed over many years these free-climbing ascents were accomplished using nothing more than the climbers' own strength and determination. Illustrated with 93 spectacular color photographs of these harrowing ascents Piana's compelling narrative evokes the dramatic highs and challenging lows of their many adventures from the heartstopping fall off El Capitan that broke Skinner's ribs and snapped Piana's leg in five places to their euphoric arrival on the summit of Mount Proboscis. Filled with exciting detail that will appeal to mountaineering enthusiasts everywhere Big Walls is a fascinating account of four supremely challenging climbs that are truly worthy of the term historic.

Fergus Fleming .
Killing Dragons: The Conquest of the Alps.
London UK Granta Books 2000. Hardcover First Ed; First Printing indicated. First Ed; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows a bit of shelving wear at the bottom edge and the heel of the backstrip is slightly crimped; the binding shows barely discernible lean while remaining perfectly secure; text clean. DJ shows only the mildrest rubbing; the price is unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall while no longer pristine remains very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 398pp. Hardback with DJ. "Killing Dragons" is an engrossing series of portraits of men and mountains woven into a chronology of alpine exploration that spans 150 years. The bulk of the narrative focuses on two big suggestive mountains - Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn - and their two principal suitors: de Saussure and Whymper. But there are delightful side roles for a whole throng of colourful characters such as Bourrit Forbes Tyndall Ruskin Stephen and Coolidge. Ultimately it's also a story about how surprisingly quickly and drastically man's relationship to nature can change: in barely two centuries the general mood regarding the mountain world switched from superstitious awe to scientific interest to exploratory zeal to nationalist competition to ultimately solipsistic thrill-seeking which is still the dominant ethos today. Fergus Fleming is a masterful storyteller with a penchant for tongue-in-cheeck humour quirky details and the burlesque. In one or two cases it's even over the top as when he inserts a footnote with a deadpan comment of Edward Whymper on the ubiquity of "cr�tins" deformed mentally handicapped people and goitre sufferers in rural Alpine communities: "Let them be formed into regiments by themselves brigaded together and commanded by cretins. Think what esprit de corps they would have! Who could stand against them Who would understand their tactics" An example of a more successful gag comes when Fleming comments on the death of Coolidge who after the demise of his beloved aunt Meta Brevoort withdrew and became and quarrelsome exasperatingly punctilious Alpine historian. Fleming: "An imp of perversity was loose in Grindelwald that season - either that or the Swiss possessed a keener sense of humour than they were normally credited with - for the great pedant was given an exquisitely apt send-off. The 'Echo of Grindelwald" misspelled his name in its official notice the authorities put the wrong age on his headstone and the carver missed out the the 'u' in 'mountains'." The book is full of these kinds of hilarious observations. Incidentally Fleming himself may have something of Coolidge's pedantry as he is remarkably scrupulous about spelling of French and Germain toponyms throughout the book. On the whole Fleming does an admirable job in weaving the locales the societal trends the climbing epics the individual characters and their relationships and rivalries into a rich tapestry. My only complaint is that this book refers only in passing to and omits a more extensive discussion on Albert Mummery an important and colourful character who heralded a new era in mountaineering. His remarkable ascents on the great Alpine peaks Zmutt ridge on the Matterhorn amongst many others and his fantastic daring to be the very first to attack a Himalayan 8.000 meter peak already in 1895! would have been a more fitting and logical conclusion to this very British epic than the unsavoury story of the German siege on the north face of the Eiger.

David Breashears.
High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places.
New York NY Simon & Schuster: Touchstone 2000. Paperback First Ed Thus; First Printing indicated. First Ed Thus; First Printing indicated. Very Good: shows light wear to extremities; mild rubbing; fairly severe spine lean; faint soiling to the outside edges; a crease at the middler of the rear panel. Binding secure; text clean. Despite these flaws remains clean sturdy presentable. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 319pp. Indexed. Black & White and Color Photographic Illustrations. Foreward by Jon Krakauer. Trade Paperback. This first-hand account of the frightening and absolutely breath-talking adventures on the slopes of Mount Everest during the ill-fated 1996 American climbing expedition is terrific reading. Brashears a professional cinematographer had already climbed Everest previous to this expedition and his prize-winning documentary IMAX film about the ascent of Everest is itself both entertaining and edifying as it holds no punches regarding the reality of life on the mountain. Neither does this book which certainly proves that the author has a future in journalism is he chooses to pursue it. His colorful and well-written autobiography also does great service in helping those of us who prefer to have our adventure while sitting in the comfort of our reading room just what it is that draws people like him to the pursuit of mountaineering. Indeed his gleeful enthusiasm is close to being contagious; this too is testimony to Brashears' ability to write convincingly and well. His approach is so colorful as to blur the lines between biography and fiction and I often found myself having to remember that all this really did happen. It is that well written. His beginnings too seem like the stuff of popular fiction; a childhood of humility and privation his early exploits in climbing on a virtual shoestring his wildcat days in the oil field all seem to fit this persona that wangles his way into situations and then has the gumption intelligence and character to pull it all off. He progresses with climbs both domestically and internationally finally reaching into Nepal and Tibet. Always with him is this sense of humor on the one hand and a willingness to take risks that most of just would turn away from. One senses he is heading for even more danger and self-discovery. Of course the key to the book is his description of the events leading up to including and after the tragic catastrophe and loss of several climbers' lives in the ascent of the mountain. Busy himself with both the climb on the one hand and the IMAX filming of it on the other left him little time for instant reflection or remorse. These things probably helped him to focus on what had to be done to go on with the successful climb the discovery of the bodies and a safe descent to the camps far below. I found myself sorry to reach the final pages of his book and I for one hope to find more writing from this talented filmmaker writer and climber in the future. I can highly recommend this book and I think you will enjoy it as well. Simon & Schuster: Touchstone, paperback

The White Spider: The Story of the North Face of the Eiger.

Binding shows very slight spine lean; light wear to extremities; lower corner tips starting to rub through; eighth-inch closed tear at the head of the backstrip; former owner's name at front free endpaper. Binding remains secure; text clean. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 310pp. Additional Chapters by Heinrich Harrer and Kurt Maix. Translated from the German by Hugh Merrick. Second Ed Revised & Enlarged. Hardback: Lacks DJ. is a great book involving the will of man and his determination to overcome obstacles. Over my life time when I have thought that things were going rough I have thought of this book and the story of these men. I highly recommend this book to all parents of teen age children. It will be well worth reading to all of you. Harrer's sensitivity toward the mountains that were his life and to his peers is unparalled. This sensitivity is intertwined throughout the book in not only his own first ascent of the face but the subsequent successes and tragedies that occurred there. An incredible heartfelt and wonderfully written book made even more fantastic when you can witness where it all took place. Yet the specific situation is less relevant than the more global significance of the lessons of commitment loyalty and endurance. Rupert Hart-Davis, hardcover

Great Time Coming: The Life of Jackie Robinson from Baseball to Birmingham.
New York NY Simon & Schuster: Touchstone 1996. Paperback First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of rubbing; pages have tanned a bit. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 382pp. Trade Paperback. I enjoyed this book greatly and learned a lot about this complex man. Growing up in Brooklyn I heard many stories about Jackie Robinson. All of them praised his courage and admired what he went through. But nobody ever thought of him as a saint he was a complex character with many rough edges. Most of what has been written about him has deified him incorrectly. The author makes it very clear early in the book that he wanted to show Robinson as "warts and all". And he succeeds Robinson comes across as a complex human being. Two things to note regarding the research done on this book. The author refers often to other biographies especially when they disagree on various points. He then gives his account of the given point a very good procedure. The author also notes that he was not given any access to the "official" Jackie Robinson archives and that Jackie's widow and her minions refused to cooperate in any way shape or form with this book as well as trying to discourage others. All I can say about that is how petty those actions are. I especially liked the depth in which the author discussed Robinson's post-baseball life especially in the political arena. Robinson supported several prominent Republican politicians such as Rockefeller and Nixon and took a lot of heat for his views. The author did a wonderful job in this area. Great job by the author is separating man and myth. Simon & Schuster: Touchstone, paperback

Last Step: The American Ascent of K2.
Seattle WA Mountaineers Books 1980. Hardcover First Ed unstated. SIGNED BY THREE MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION Diane Roberts James W. Whittaker author of the Prelude to the book and Jim Wickwire. First Ed unstated. Very Good in Good DJ: Book shows indications of light use: slight spine lean; minor wear to extremities; lower corners lightly bumped; former owner's name and date at front free endpaper; binding secure; text clean. DJ shows fairly heavy wear to extremities; moderate rubbing; several short closed tears; price unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall a clean sturdy presentable copy in a somewhat tatty DJ. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 4to. 301pp. Hardback with DJ. Without a doubt this is one of the most riveting mountaineering books around. Not for the climbing which is in and of itself gripping but for the slice of human drama found in the deterioration of relationships amongst various members of the expedition. At times one is mesmerized by the bad behavior displayed at such high altitudes! One would think that these expeditioners were on Melrose Place rather than fighting for their place in mountaineering history on K2 one of the most perilous mountains in the world to ascend. Central to all the squabbling was the love trangle which developed on the expedition which was perceived by some of the expeditioners to be an extra marital affair in progress. Though this later proved to be true at the time it was the source of much denial and hard feelings. It further split the team which was already divided over who would be chosen to summit and eroded already existing friendships while preventing new ones which might have otherwise developed. On top of all this add in poor weather which caused them to spend about sixty seven days on the mountain mostly at altitudes over eighteen thousand feet and you have a recipe for disaster. These expeditioners however managed to become the first Americans to ascend K2. Their success in achieving their objective despite the trials and tribulations which they endured is testament to their fortitude in putting aside petty mean spirited concerns and inter-personal conflicts. This painstaking account of the first time summit of K2 by Americans is a must read for all climbing enthusiasts and readers of this genre. SIGNED. Mountaineers Books, hardcover
