ONE GREEN BOTTLE

1955 FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION

ONE OF THE SCARCEST CLIMBING NOVELS IN ANY EDITION

"A LEADING CONTENDER AS THE FINEST CLIMBING NOVEL EVER WRITTEN"


This is the first paperback edition of ONE GREEN BOTTLE by Elizabeth Coxhead. This book was published in London by Fontana Books (a division of Collins Clear-Type Press) in 1955. It is the first paperback edition of the book that was originally published in hardcover in 1951 and only reprinted twice in hardcover (once in 1951 and once in 1973). The copy offered here appears to be the only paperback printing. The book measures 179mm tall x 108mm and has 252 pages + 4 pages of advertisements. Novel involving climbing & romance in Snowdonia. This book was condemned by the Bishop of Chester for its explicitness. Presents the firming-up of a personality through a variety of experiences including climbing. Neate praised this as being one of the finest climbing novels ever. According to the blurb on the back copy of this edition, early Everest climber Jack Longland considered this "By far the best novel about climbing I have read."
