Gordon Stainforth's first book
was an immediate best-seller. Many, like Chris
Bonington, were stunned by the "magical depth
of colour" and "superb sharpness" of the extraordinary
images, while others commented on the originality
of the text, which explored the whole philosophy
of mountaineering as well as the different ways
in which we may see and photograph a landscape.
Sadly, after three print runs, this modern classic is now out of print.
