About This Item
Hyperion, talk miramax books. New York. 2001. Quarter-bound in blue with darker shade of blue paper boards and (ice-cold) silver lettering to spine. Later printing with one corner lightly bumped. Signed bookplate on half title page and inscription by author on title page. Included is the Feb. 25, 2001 review from the Des Moines Register. The book is more than just a "it's cold down there" story. In part, to escape monsters in her personal life, she volunteered to work at a South Pole reserach station. Spoiler alert, it didn't work. While there she performed a biopsy on herself to diagnose breast cancer. Being trapped by weather for eleven months and being the only doctor within six hundred miles required starting chemotherapry via satelite communication with experts. Eight pages of B/W photographs. 6.25x9.75 in. 362 pg.
