G. N. Mehra

1974 FIRST EDITION

SIGNED ON THE PRE-TITLE PAGE BY TENZING NORGAY SHERPA


This is the first printing of the first edition of Bhutan: Land Of The Peaceful Dragon by G. N. Mehra. The book has been signed & dated 6/7/75 on the pre-title page by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa who made the first ascent of Mt Everest along with Edmund Hillary. The book was published by Vikas Publishing House in 1974 in Delhi. The book measures 254mm tall x 182mm, and has 151 pages, 16 b/w & 94 color photos, EP maps, glossary, index. Fascinating, comprehensive description of Bhutan, the country & cultures. Includes several photos of high mountains.

CONDITION: Original white covers with brown lettering spine. The book has been signed and dated by Tenzing on the short-title page, a very strong and big Tenzing signature. A former owner has penned his name to the corner of the FFEP along with a note indicating that he bought it in 1975 in Bhutan. It is likely that the owner travelled to Darjeeling or Nepal with the book on the same trip and had Tenzing sign it (the two dates correspond to this scenario). While Tenzing has no part in this book, the Tenzing signature in it is a very strong one pluse it is dated in Tenzing's handwriting. The book is in nice condition with some faint tanning to cover edges, clean, no foxing, tight binding, no writing or marks other than those already mentioned. The dust jacket has minor edge wear, no tears, no chips.. Price: $245.
