The A.M.C. White Mountain Guide: A guide to paths in the White Mountains and adjacent regions
- Used
- very good
This is a rare, early 8th edition of "The A.M.C. White Mountain Guide" from 1931. This edition is one of only a few where the Guide was published with an illustrated front cover (the 7th and the 9th editions being the only others). The Guide comes with all of its maps, including the large folding map stored within a pouch on the inside back cover. "A Guide to Paths in the White Mountains and Adjacent Regions." Published by The Appalachian Mountain Club; Boston; 1931. Please see the photos for the complete list of contents. Great condition!
Condition:
Clean covers and spine with no stains; sharp corners; I am unsure if the book had originally been issued with colored letters and illustrations to the covers and spine but, if so, the coloring has since faded. Tight binding. Crack at hinge between the Copyright and Contents pages. The text pages are in great condition - mostly clean and white with only a thin stain strip at the top edge of a few of the pages at the back of the book. No writing, tears or foxing. All maps are present and in terrific condition - no tears found and all folding maps fold in/out easily with no tears. The map pouch on the inside back cover is firmly attached with no tears. Overall the book is in very good condition - buy with confidence! (NOTE: photo 1 of the front cover is actually a darker green than the image depicts; I used a close-up flash in order to show the illustration)

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1950. First edition in this format, being the first issue of the Uniform Edition. Illustrated with 24 of the author's photographs nicely reproduced on glossy double-sided plates, and with a map of the route taken over Mont Blanc. 8vo, in the original red cloth, lettered on the spine in black and in the original dustjacket. xi, 229 pp. A very pleasing copy, the text is essentially fine and very fresh, the binding strong and sturdy with very little wear but with some mottling and fading to the red dye, the jacket a bit toned on the spine and rear and with some very minor edge-rubbing but in all quite attractive and complete. FIRST PRINTING OF THE TITLE IN THE FORMAT UNIFORM WITH OTHER WORKS OF THE AUTHOR. The textblock of the Uniform Edition is somewhat larger then the original and uses a larger, bolder typeface. Smythe was one of the greatest mountaineers of his age, and was also a pioneer in mountain photography. In this book he recounts a mountaineering…
