Everest 1933
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton, First edition, First issue, 4to, PP 390+xiii, 59 plates, 4 maps, original full leather binding, title in gilt on spine.This is the official account of the fourth British Everest Expedition, in 1933 -- the one after the ill-fated Mallory/Irvine 1924 climb -- led by the author of this book, Hugh Ruttledge.
