J Monroe THORINGTON / Glittering Mountains of Canada Record Signed 1st Edition

Illustrated, with many fold-out illustrations from panoramic photographs, and large folding map at rear. Tidemark at the front corner of the page block, affecting the margins of most pages, though not the contents. Otherwise a sharp, sound copy, overall about very good, lacking the dust jacket. This is number 115 of 1500 limited copies, hand-numbered on the front paste-down.

This copy is also SIGNED by Thorington, and though his signature is not called for, he apparently did sign a modest number of these limited copies. A handwritten note from the previous owner identifies himself as Thorington's roommate at Princeton. A wonderfully illustrated volume of mountaineering in western Canada. As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects.
