"Climbing Ice" by Chouinard

[DougPaul]

There is a report over on the AMC website that there are some copies of Yvon Chouinard's "Climbing Ice" available at Amazon. http://appalachia.outdoors.org/bbs/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=9055

Just checked--there are two copies available. A bit pricey, but it is a classic.

I always wonder why they don't re-issue this?

It would seem to be a good candidate. Of course it is always possible that Chouinard doesn't want to.

I see. (Get it? I see = icy )

I bought a copy from a second party seller on Amazon last November for $14 in Used-Very Good condition. There are some on there right now in similar shape for around $19, less good condition for less, and much better shape for like $35 and up.

Get on there now and grab a $19 copy before they're gone.

Yeah, I got my copy some time ago from amazon used - in ok condition - stained yellow from cigarettes and everything - now THAT's some history you can smell...and almost taste

there's a couple on amazon now signed for $100 and $250, if you're a collector.

I was fortunate to get a free copy back in the '70's from a buddy of mine who worked at a local printer when the book first came out.

Michael Chessler has paperback copies for $20 here.

Great Link... I need to replace this "Classic" as I lent this to someone a long time ago who never returned it

Another good site for used and collectible books

Check your local library also. I know the Schenectady Central has it.

It's amazing what some books are selling for online. In 1996 I wrote a guide book that is now out of print. I have seen it online for as "little" as $22 to well over $100. I've bought copies of it directly at used bookstores for around $8, and while I'd like to have more copies on hand to share with newer friends, there is a limit to what is reasonable. I learned from a seller of used books that some online sites take a price they've seen a book sell for and jack the prices up to see if they can get a buyer to "bite."

I bought my copy this past winter on www.half.ebay.com. It cost me $10 and change and it's a nearly new copy. If I had the cash I'd have a signed one, but either way it is a MUST HAVE.
