Just come across this. It's a book I was always after and such an inspiration at the time. Gold dust!

It would be nice if the bookseller could manage to spell John Cleare's name correctly and consistently.

Agreed, an iconic book.

I have a copy- bought it when it came out cost 35 shillings! read it in van en route to the Swiss alps (none of us had the money to fly and we took most of our own food for the same reason). It's a great book and I browse it every few years- brings back those exciting and slightly dodgy days- epics and all that. Nice that others appreciate it too.

They are hoping to have it on sale by the end of the week, sadly not in time for Kendal. This is a shame as I beleive Mr Smythe will be there. Still he has signed my original copy.
