5 out of 5 stars My Oh My What a Wonderful Book   November 21, 2000
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Spanning the globe from Asia to Antarctica to Alaska to New Guinea, this wonderful book is a must for any mountain lover--including those of the armchair variety. The illustrations are heartpounding, while about a few dozen short narratives are wholly satisfying. This book is a wee bit pricey, and, tho' I am a poor boy, I don't feel one bit robbed. This may be the best picture book/narrative mtn. book I own.


5 out of 5 stars Buy the coffee table size hardcover, not the paperback!   May 14, 1999

It's got such fantastic photography, the hardcover is well worth the investment.

Great photographs in this book - largely by John Cleare one of the world's greatest mountain photographers. Thank you John for yet more stunning photographs!
