Dealer Notes
This is the standard history documenting the first ascent of K2 by the expedition leader, Desio. Although not a rare book this copy is signed by the two first summiters Compagnoni and Lacedelli. Unlike the members of the 1953 Everest team who did many public signings Lacedelli and Compagnoni did not and there signatures especially together are very scarce.
Author Desio, Ardito
Publisher New York: McGraw-Hill, 1956
