Association copy, inscribed by the author to his teacher on the half-title page, "For Loretta Smith- With Lasting Gratitude For All You Taught Me, And For Planting The Seeds Of My Literary Career. Thanks, Jon Krakauer." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Daniel Rembert. An exceptional association.
"This is a great book, among the best ever on mountaineering. Gracefully and efficiently written, carefully researched, and actually lived by its narrator, it shares a similar theme with another sort of book, a novel called "The Great Gatsby" (The Washington Post).
