The book was given to my father, a keen climber/mountaineer for his 21st birthday and has an inscription to the front leaf. It is in good condition generally for it's age, all the pages and photographs are in very good condition. It does not have a dust jacket and has some brown marks on the spine, due to it's age I assume. This item is in the category "Books, Comics & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectable".
