3.0 out of 5 stars What a silly question? 5 Sep 2009
By Mr. W. J. L. Pugh
This is a great book but it was updated ten years later so I would advise all potential customers to buy the latest book "80 years of Everest" (or something like that)still by Peter Gilman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everest: The Best Writing & Pictures From 70 Years of Human 5 Jun 2000
By Elizabeth A. Baker - Published on Amazon.com
If you are an Everest fan (and I don't just mean a 1996 disaster groupie) this is a must have/ read! Even though it ends in the late 1980s, the information, photographs and insights are the best! Incredible climbers, many of whom are no longer with us, take you on their efforts on the mountain. After reading this book, I was better acquainted with the mountain and its topography than any other book that I have read (and I have read alot of them) and am acquainted with where current expeditions are in their search of the summit. If I was a library crook, the book would be mine. Instead, good karma and conscience ruling!, I have placed an order to find this out of print book with Amazon, drooling with anticipation until I can finally put this gem in my Everest library as the penultimate acquisition. Kind of like summiting and getting back to base camp!:)

This is a very good book for anyone who wishes to deepen his/her knowledge of the highest mountain in the world and a recollection of many adventures, sometimes deadly, that have marked its climbing by different routes. Often times people speak of "the conquest" of a mountain. Nothing is less true when it comes to Chomolungma (the Tibetan name for Everest). Through the stories in the book one gets a deep understanding that the summit of this mountain is already beyond the place any human can live for a long stretch of time. If at all one can only be allowed to stand there for a few moments, looking to fill oneself with the awe and inspiration reserved on a regular basis to the gods only.
