Description: Up For Sale: INTO THIN AIR by JON KRAKAUER. [publisher: Villard [Random House], New York, 1997.] Hardcover First Edition FIRST PRINTING of First Edition This is the true first printing with "FIRST EDITION" printed on the copyright page and the number line having "2" as the lowest digit. When the book was reprinted the "First Edition" statement was removed leaving the 2-9 number line. Copies with "1" as the lowest digit are NOT first printings. Villard is an imprint of Random House and uses their identification system.When you add a Letter into the print line it indicates what the printing is. EXAMPLE: a 1-9 number line with a "B" would be an 11th printing and so on. Non book sellers on line continue to misidentify this book. It is STILL in print and has had dozens of printings. Do not spend your money on what is essentially, a reading copy. This is a SCARCE BOOK in the real first printing. One of the most harrowing stories of mountaineering in the modern age and a philosophical foreshadowing to the congestion and commercialization of the climbing experience. I thought Krakauer had an ax to grind and needed to place blame, but still acknowledge this as a seminal book in the mountain climbing genre. Beautiful, UNREAD copy. One neatly smoothed out dog ear in one of the early pages, else FINE with NO writing, marks, inscriptions, plates, underlining, owner names etc... tough of shelf wear to spine ends, else FINE in a lovely Unclipped jacket with $24.95 price intact. A COLLECTOR'S COPY!
