Recently rebound in quarter dark blue leather and blue cloth, gilt spine titles on red band, new blue EPs, top-edge marbled. Very good, slight fraying to outer edges and some soiling to the boards, which might suggest that they are the original blue cloth covers. Internally with nice bright and crisp pages throughout, might not have been read. Contents: The mountaineering classic by Frank S. Smythe, in which he reminiscences on the British hills, the Alps and Himalayas. |
