View from the Summit by Edmund Hillary. Signed Collector's Edition. Bound in Genuine Leather. The Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticut, 1999.

-------------------

Easton Press are a modern fine publisher who are still active and printing luxurious leatherbound editions of important titles. Many of the most desirable titles are long out of print, and so the titles outside of their "100 Greatest Books of All Time" series and their long sold out Deluxe Limited Editions remain highly (and increasingly) desirable. 

 Easton Press produce high quality books which are fully bound in real leather with all edges gilt. They use 22kt gold in their detailing and have many other luxurious features such as a silk page marker, pages sewn in and not glued, acid-neutral paper, and often include original illustrations or translations commissioned specifically for their editions. They predominantly publish classics and are best known for their '100 Greatest Books' series, but also publish other works such as science fiction, modern classics, fine facsimile editions, deluxe limited editions, signed editions, limited sets, etc.

About WoodPaz Books:

WoodPaz Books is an online antiquarian and rare book shop dedicated to great customer service and secure eco-friendly packaging. We know how frustrating it is to receive a book in sub-standard packaging, especially an expensive one! That's why every single one of our books is sent generously wrapped in bio-degradable bubblewrap housed in a sturdy cardboard box, irrespective of price. We mostly use Royal Mail, but occasionally use other providers for heavy orders, or orders for more than £2,500. Our books are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment in a smoke and pet free space, handled with the utmost care and attention. 

We really do strive for the accuracy of our descriptions and condition reports in each listing. We aim to mention all of the main areas of the condition: the spine, hinges, joints, boards, page edges, page block, etc. We are highly knowledgeable on books and love talking about them! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

If you have any issues with any aspect of your order, please contact us first before leaving feedback and we will endeavour to rectify any issues. Our return rate is less than 1%, and many book-lovers swear by us as their source for luxury books. Thank you for considering us!
