Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Reprint. 1935 National Travel Club USA edition. Though the book has "First Edition" printed on the copyright page, this is a reprint published by The National Travel Club. However, this reprint is the same format/size as the true first USA edition published by McBride, basically the same book but with a different title and copyright page. This is the USA version of .Everest 1933 first published in the UK by Hodder & Stoughton in 1934. The USA edition differs from the UK edition in that it is smaller format (but still larger than average size) and has 15 fewer photos and only one map (vs. 3 maps in the UK edition). A perk added to the USA edition that was not included in the UK edition was the addition of a "3-D" photo of Everest with special viewing glasses (paper frame with celluloid lenses) in a rear pocket. This example is LACKING the 3-D glasses and pocket. LACKING the dust jacket. The book has light wear to covers, fading to spine, rough area rear pastedown where glasses pocket removed (now lost), gift inscription dated 1983 on top of front pastedown and name dated 1959 on top of short-title page otherwise no writing or marks on any pages, no foxing, solid binding, no crease marks. I included a new custom-made pair of 3-D viewing glasses with the book. They work exactly just as poorly as the original pair = the 3--D effect was never very spectacular. The book measures 244mm tall x 168mm, and has 339 pages, 45 b/w photos, 1 map, index. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM BEING OFFERED.…
