5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous pictures, somewhat dry text, January 13, 2000

This review is from: K2: Challenging the Sky (Hardcover)
-although the text may just have suffered in the translations. If you want to see the single best collection of K2 photographs I've ever seen, and I have them all, this is the book for you. A bargain at anything less than about $250.00, it's bound and published beautifully (at least my copy was!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos, Rich in History, August 24, 2000
By 
Mad Dog "maddog6969" (TimbuckThree, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: K2: Challenging the Sky (Hardcover)
If you've read all the classic historical books of ascents on K2 except this one, your library is incomplete. The power of this book is in part within it's outstanding photography and also has to do with how well it pulls so much information together. This is a complex mountain but the information is presented clearly such that one feels more comfortable with the different sides of the mountain and their challenges to the climber.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous pictures. You instantly dream to be there., September 10, 1999
This review is from: K2: Challenging the Sky (Hardcover)
This book is a very good one. I found it to be the best companion (for the beautiful photos in large format e for showing clearly the several attempted routes on K2) to another 5-star book, "K2, Triumph and Tragedy". Bravo Roberto Mantovani!
