About this Item

This 6.375 x 9.375 inch, 207 page hardcover book with dust wrapper is the 1964 first edition of this title by Howell-North Books. This copy is in beautifully fine condition with the book virtually *As New*. The soft brick-red cloth covers with darker lettering on front panel and spine are spotless, without any condition issues to mention . . . and with the corners *As New*. The text pages show only a previous owner?s penciled numbers on the ffep but beyond that the text is strictly fine. The book features a number of black-and-white photos. The dust wrapper is in near fine condition with a touch of wear showing along the top and bottom edges . . . and with the slightest bit of paper loss at the spine crown. The jacket shows $4.95 on the front flap and is now protected by a mylar cover. Fletcher would influence and set the stage for the backpacking interest and fascination that would begin in the United States in the 1960?s and has led to the considerable distance, hiking, and camping all over the world today. 207 pages.
