lightest wear to the book; jacket spine sunned. First printing, no others noted. Tenzing gets his due in this account of the expedition which succeeded in reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Originally published in France as "La Conquete de L'Everest par Le Sherpa Tensing" literally the conquest of Everest by the Sherpa Tenzing. We sometimes forget that Edmund Hilary did not stand alone on the roof of the world. More than a porter, Tenzing spent a lifetime preparing to conquer the highest peak in the world. Uncommon in this state. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hard Cover. Most items ship with tracking numbers and (generally over $15.00) jacket protectors if applicable. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
