Item description from seller

FIRST PRINTING of First USA Edition. TWO volumes complete set with all plates, all maps, all panoramas. Both volumes in original green buckram with gilt lettering spines. Complete with all pages and plates, no repairs and no restorations, former owner name stamp on cover of index booklet otherwise no previous owner marks or writing on any pages, small black ink splotch on front pastedown of panoramas volume, bright spine gilt (often this book has faded spine gilt), very slight fading to spines of both volumes, tip of lower outside corner of the rear cover of volume one bumped, superficial rubbing (= some loss of color) in places along spine edges of both volumes, 4cm tear along gutter of tissue guard at title page (title page and frontis NOT torn), foxing on title page & recto of frontispiece plate & on pre-title page of volume one (other pages have no foxing), plates have no foxing, solid binding. Better than average condition for this big, heavy book. The panorama/map volume has the usual slightly squished spine which happens to all copies because there is a gap between the spine and the pocket holding the panoramas and maps. The panoramas are generally clean and bright without tears. The maps are clean and bright without tears. Overall, this is a superior example of the rare two volume set. The book measures 273mm tall x 213mm. The two volumes have the following collation. Volume 1: 469 pages, 33 plates (5 are folding plates where two of these 5 folding plates have two images per plate, and 2 of the 33 plates are color geologic specimen plates located in the appendix but not included in the list of illustrations), 194 in-text photos, 4 appendixes; Volume 2: case of 18 panoramas, 3 maps, photo list/index booklet. Neate's bibliography incorrectly describes the first volume as having 36 plates. How she arrived at this number is a mystery that is probably a result of confounding the number of plate images with the number of leaves that constitute plates. The "List of Plates" in the index booklet specifies 32 plates (including the frontispiece) but two of those in the list are images on the same single plate (i.e., the plate leaf at page 340 is listed twice in the index since it has two different images on it), thus making the total of plate leaves 31 in number. The two geological color plate leaves in the appendix of volume I are not noted in the index booklet. There are no other single leaf plates in volume I. The correct number of single plate leaves in volume I is 33 = 31 + 2. Neate's entry for the book is incorrect. Every seller claiming that there are 36 plates in the book is mistaken. We have examined and collated every page of more than 10 examples of the first edition. None had 36 plates; all had 33 plates. 33 plates is the correct number. NOTE: The panoramas in the case are lettered 'A' through 'S' totaling 18. One sheet has two images, those labeled 'K' and 'L'. Curiously, 'J' was NOT used to label any plate. There has never been a panorama labeled 'J' for this book. It is NOT missing. The publisher's list of panoramas/index does not include a 'J' panorama. No example of this book has a 'J' panorama. None have ever existed, anywhere. There are no plates/pages/maps missing here. This set is complete with all contents as issued, though it does LACK the super rare dust jackets. See photos for the list of panoramas. This is one of the most celebrated books in the mountaineering literature. PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM BEING OFFERED.
