Descripción del artículo del vendedor

London: Hutchinson, 2007. SIGNED by the AUTHOR (only the date, his address in Bath, and signature - NOT personalized to anyone), SIGNED copies are SCARCE. Very Good condition in a Very Good dust jacket. Only light shelfwear -- NO chips, tears or fading. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are clean and unmarked. Venables was, in 1988, the first Briton to ascend the summit of Mount Everest without bottled oxygen. Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize 2007. Illustrated with 16 b/w and full color photographic plates. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue boards. Complete with pictorial dust jacket. From the publisher: "Higher Than the Eagle Soars distills the intense essence of his Everest climb, concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent. It is an intimate and epic account of an event that confirmed Venables as the greatest British climber of his generation." From the author: "I have been wanting for some time now to revisit the Everest climb. Although the book I wrote about it [Everest: Alone at the Summit] was very successful and has appeared in four different editions, it conformed superficially to an expedition book, telling the whole story from beginning to end, with considerable technical detail. It would be good to go back and extract the intense essence of the story, concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent, making a grand finale to the book. Although Everest wasn't the end of my climbing career, it was a big turning point: it had quelled the demon of ambition and I sensed that I would probably never do anything quite so extreme in the mountains. And, although we didnt go seeking deliberately an epic near-death experience, it did turn out that way the ultimate endurance test for which all the previous adventures seemed, retrospectively, to be a preparation.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR (his signature only). Hardcover. Very Good condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (xiv), 370pp. + 16 plates. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985.

Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
