Reader's note

This book is so much a classic, so great an adventure of our times, that it needs little introduction to any reader. It might all too easily have happened precisely because it was the official account, The Ascent of Everest might not have been equal to its subject. But no: this book is a worthy, inspiring and permanent document of endeavour and achievement.This edition is unabridged and includes all the appendices, which are equally as interesting as the main text. It contains 8 superb full colour photogravure plates and 16 pages of monochrome reproduction, which for clarity and depth bear comparison with any other book on the subject. This is a wonderful book and would make a delightful addition to any bookshelf.
