BY ACHILLE COMPAGNONI

FIRST EDITION

FIRST ASCENT OF K2

SCARCE LARGE FORMAT PHOTO BOOK


This is the first edition of K2. CONQUISTA ITALIANA. TRA STORIA E MEMORIA. The book was published in Azzano San Paolo by Bolis Edizioni in 2004. This book is large format measuring 305mm tall x 245mm. It is not paginated. I counted 180 pages, 142 color & 73 b/w photos & illustrations. The text is in italian. There is no english edition. Account of the first ascent of K2 by one of the summiters, Achille Compagnoni. This book contains many good photos from the expedition not published in Desio’s account. Igor Man presents an eight page interview of Compagnoni. Mariarosa Carreri writes a 7 page biography of Compagnoni. This also contains the full text of Compagnoni’s scarce, early book on the ascent, Uomini sul K2, and a considerable amount of other writings by Compagnoni about the expedition not found in that book. Though the book is not old, it has become very uncommon.

The book is in unread fine condition with clean covers, tight binding, no crease marks on any pages, no previous owner marks or writing on any pages. Original dust wrapper has a nearly invisible 2cm clean tear lower spine corner; otherwise it is in fine condition with no chips, no rubbing, very clean, no fading. Price: $75.
