I was in Maleny last week and dropped in to my friend at the second-hand bookshop. What a find! I bought 5 books - all in pristine condition. They are;
Mountaineer. 30 years of climbing. Chris Bonington
The Boardman Tasker Omnibus. A hardback comprising Savage Arena, The Shining Mountain, Sacred Summits & Everest the Cruel Way.
Everest. Walt Unsworth. 3rd Edition. In hardback for only $25, about £10.
My Father Sandy. A biography of Wollaston by his son who was only 4 when his father was shot dead in Cambridge by a student!
Finally, Mountaineering by C.T.Dent. Published in 1892! It contains everything we need to know on getting fit, ice techniques, health in the mountains etc. albeit from 115 years ago.
