New York: Studio Book - the Viking Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket 1977. First Edition. Hardcover. Marfree, Fine acidfree fresh Review Copy (3 glossies + Pub Note laid in) in undented sky blue boards gilt titles on spine, turquoise unclipped photographic DJ is Fine; not marked-in, clearance or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; A Studio Book; 9.25 x 10.1 in.; 208 pages; A superb collection of brief, uplifting essays, May 10, 2005 Reviewer: ABrad "rkb" (United States) - Eric Newby, who has considerable credibility as an entertaining traveler, has written what seems to me to be a wonderful set of brief vignettes on some of the more important ascents in Mountaineering. Each essay provides a succinct and uplifting description, along with enough pictures to bring joyfulness if you have been there, or if you wish you had. I've climbed a few of the ones in Europe and it's kind of nice to know who went before you. #For example, the author's unique essay on Tschingel of the Alps, a brave dog who took part in the Golden Age of Mountaineering, is worth the book's price. The author documents the story well and tells it with tenderness and appreciation -- the mountains have brought gifts to others besides humans. The story will probably bring a tear to the eye of anyone who has ever seen the enjoyment a mountain hike can bring to a beloved pet. .
