Kohli, M.S.

Nine Atop Everest, Story of the Indian Ascent

First Edition. Hardcover. Good+ in a Fair dust jacket. 384 p, with 56 plates, some color. Binding tight and square, text unmarked. Dust jacket is edgeworn, with chipping and short tears, and is partially adhered to boards due to some old water-damage (not affecting text block).
