Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

The Very Scarce 2nd issue with Taylor's Preface! 1916 Smith, Elder, London, 1st ed, 2nd issue, thick 8vo, pp.iv*-xiv, 464, photo frontis, 61 bw photos, 7 drwgs, 105 text illus, 7 maps (2 fldg, 1 color), appendix, uncut, gilt lettered spine, yellow lettered front w/ Emperor penguin in yellow/black, green cloth w/ green cloth clamshell box w/ leather title patch on spine. Box very fine, cloth rubbed, wear to bottom edge, news clipping pasted to verso of ½ title, maps w/ orig folds & no tears, tight, very good. Taylor served as geologist with Scott on the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) and led the Western Journeys. This is the scarcest of the firsthand accounts from this expedition. This 2nd issue is scarcer than the 1st and more desirable as it contains Taylor’s two-page preface, which was inadvertently omitted from the 1st issue. The pasted clipping, with photo, concerns the showing of the film ‘Scott of the Antarctic’ in Washington, DC with Charles Wright and Richard Byrd in attendance. A very desirable account of this important expedition. Very scarce. Conrad pg.190, Renard 1575, Rosove 324.A2, Spence 1183, Taurus 81.…

Shopbeschreibung

Top of the World Books, LLC, located in Vermont, was established in 1989 as an outgrowth of our personal interest in mountaineering and polar exploration literature. We are an active, full-time, retailer of Mountaineering, Climbing, and Polar exploration literature. Whether you are an active outdoors person or an armchair adventurer, we share your interests. We offer for sale, via our website (www.topworldbooks.com) and catalogue, a wealth of mountaineering, climbing and polar exploration material (books, prints & posters, expedition cards, videos, memorabilia) encompassing the world. Since not all great books have been published in English, we have presented books in over a dozen different languages! If your interests lie in the 8000-meter peaks of the Himalaya and Karakorum (Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Cho Oyu, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, Gasherbrum I, Broad Peak, Shishapangma, Gasherbrum II), the Seven Summits (Everest, Aconcagua, McKinley (Denali), Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson, Kosciusko, and Carstenz Pyramid), the Alaska Range, Alps, Andes, Caucasus, Rockies, or the Polar Regions (encompassing the Arctic, Antarctic, North Pole and South Pole) we most likely have something to offer you. Our website currently lists over 2000 items in stock! If we don't have the item you're looking for, we most likely have had it before and can get a copy for you. We are also the publishers of 'Mount McKinley's West Buttress: The First Ascent - Brad Washburn's Logbook 1951', by renowned McKinley explorer Bradford Washburn. We also provide appraisal services, collection-development assistance, and buy books in our specialty, either single items or complete collections.
