There's really nothing new in this book, but the presentation is first-class and this is probably the first time that many of the photos have been published with such clear definition. The fold-out panoramas are great.

Time travel... pure and simple... Once upon a time, my younger self has taken photographs of sunset on Mt. Everest... it was an adventure.... This books is a delight to read for anyone, who loves to dream about the era, where all of those spectacular locations were actually off the map, and the sense of adventure was unmatched.... Thank you very much for putting it all together into this beautifully produced volume.

Bought as a birthday present for my brother-in-law. The quality of the books was, as always, impeccable and he was delighted with them.

The two volume set included a photographic portfolio which was quite stunning with sublime and evocative images. The text, covering the early attempts conveyed the sometimes foolhardy, often brave, and generally harrowing stories, contrasting totally with what are almost now just the climbs by rich tourists.
