CONDITION: Original blue cloth hardcover with silver lettering spine, blue tinted top edge of text block. Very clean covers with no fading, bright spine lettering, no rubbing, no foxing, bright pages, tight binding, no previous owner marks or writing on any pages, usual fading to the blue tinting of the top edge. Lightly tipped-in at the short-title page is a thick paper (like index card paper) slip signed by both Maurice Herzog and by Louis Lachenal, both signatures being on the same piece of paper. Both signatures are very strong and clear without any fading. The slip is not pasted on the page; instead, it is attached only at the gutter. It could be removed very easily without damaging the book or adjacent pages. The original dust jacket has some edge rubbing but it is in much better condition than what is usual for this jacket. It is complete with the original price printed on the flap corner. It is the first printing state of the dust jacket, not a jacket from a later prinitng. Price: $625.
