Seller's Description:
F. 8vo. original photocopied paper wraps, as issued; pp. [ii], 222 (last blank). Uncorrected proof, not for publication. A fine copy. Winner of the 1989 Boardman-Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. This brilliant novel caused some controversy at the time given its style and content. Not so much a book about climbers, as a book about life focused on the interaction between a group of climbers.
