For the serious book collector and/or Mt. Everest enthusiast

There is nothing else like it out there. The well-written narrative is richly detailed and tells the first-person tale of the most daring ascent (1988) of a new route on Mt. Everest ever undertaken. This was accomplished by a 4-man team with no Sherpa support beyond basecamp and no supplemental oxygen! The text is supplemented by 100+ full color eye-popping images. But the most amazing thing about this book is the signature page at the front. It is signed by 16 of the greatest living mountaineers in the world including Sir Edmund Hillary (yes!), Reinhold Messner, Christian Bonnington and many more. There were only 150 of these very special volumes assembled with the signature page, gold gilt page edges and hard protective case. This one is #104 and so there are not many left. I am fortunate to have one in my collection (#34), all the signatories have one, the author's supporters and a few close friends have one and the rest are being sold by the author. If you're into this kind of thing you will appreciate how special this book is. Here's the eBay link and a photo of the signature page:
