About this deal

The Society has never set out to be a ‘collector’ of his books or memorabilia; it is not in our constitution. One of the most unique features of this book is that each fell page contains the accurate OS Grid References for the peaks. After deciding the spelling mistake on the front cover wasn’t an issue in the grand scheme of things I decided to keep the book!

It contains 214 accurately designed, high detailed tables to help you log data each time you complete one of the Wainwright peaks.In 2014, it was agreed that the Society should however embark on a project to acquire a copy of every one of AW’s published items, the purpose of which was to try to ensure that a copy of his work was available for the future. g. a foreword, an introduction, or the inclusion of drawings which had not been reproduced in his other publications) we included these in our project.

Being a keen walker who ahs done the Wainwrights, I was initially chuffed - then I notice the very title 'Record Highland Advetures' - um, spot the mistake. The publication list below covers the items in the project and is believed to be a complete bibliography as well as some other relevant publications which include original material by AW. Alfred Wainwright is probably best known for his Guidebooks but, when the total bibliography is inspected, his writing and, particularly his drawings are seen to be of at least equal importance.The aesthetic is all wrong, more appropriate for a handbook on computer programming, The entry details themselves are well thought out, though, just what we walkers tend to prioritize, and all 214 fells are spelt correctly. We were not interested in which edition or impression was involved although the aim was to acquire a copy which was un-amended from his original publication.
