About this Item
1954 Garzanti, Milano, 1st edition, 8vo, pp.xiii, 250, (64), folding photo frontis, 16 color & 80 bw (2 folding) photos, 3 color maps (1 folding), blue cloth; signed Walter Bonatti, dust jacket w/ most of spine missing, chipped, torn, poor, cloth w/ SIAE blindstamp on title page, small ink owner s name in two places, very good. The official account of the 1954 Italian first ascent of K2. This original Italian edition has more photos than the English language translations. This copy has the blindstamp of the Societą Italiana degli Autori ed Editori (SIAE, Italian Authors and Publishers Association) as I have seen in other copies. Bonatti s signature on Desio s book is very rare, given the controversial nature of the expedition. His inscription in this copy leaves no doubt as to his feelings! His signature also looks much more like one would expect, as it changed later on. A unique copy. Ref 25887. Seller Inventory # 25887
