About This Item
Granta, 2003. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine blue cloth, fine pages, in equally fine dustjacket. Signed by the author on the half-title page with the date of 15.xi.08 and the words 'Rucksack Club Dinner/Disley'. The book was owned by Arthur Howcroft, Honorary Vice-President of the European Ramblers Association, a passionate walker and climber, and a member of the Rucksack Club (founded in 1902), who died in February 2023. His small booklabel is on the lower verso of the half-title and on the lower rear flap. The author was guest speaker at this dinner in Disley, a small village near Howcroft's home in Stockport, whence came his signature. A nice association copy, in excellent condition, of Macfarlane's first book, already a classic in the literature of mountains.
