First and only edition. 4to. pp. 100; numerous coloured and b & w illusts., map loosely inserted as issued; very good in the original wrappers and d.-w., spine rubbed, K2 lettering to upper cover faded. A presentation copy from Robert Bates to Betty Lowe, sister of George Lowe, inscribed "Exeter N.H. May 8, 1955. All good wishes to Betty Lowe in memory of our joint ascent in the Hastings area last January Bob Bates". Houston & Bates's classic book K2: The Savage Mountain recorded the experiences of an American team on K2 in 1953. Their second book about the expedition - the present view-book - appeared in France only, since the authors' US publisher did not expect the book to sell well in the English-speaking world. This copy was presented by co-author Bob Bates to Betty Lowe, the sister of George Lowe (a member of the Everest expedition of 1953, and of the Trans-Antarctic expedition 1955-8).
