                         WALTER PARRY HASKETT SMITH – CLIMBING POLYMATH

The full electronic PDF biography of Haskett Smith father of British rock-climbing is now available on a USB stick. In addition to the biography, the USB also contains extra folders containing images, many never seen in public – one being the only known photo of him climbing/posing on Napes Needle in 1890, extra detailed information, and copies of some of his writings which are not included in the biographical text. [£12 post free in the UK].

                                  Available from the author via fjg236@aol.com

Be great if you could get this published in a good hard back, a real collectors item.

I am selling off unwanted climbing gear etc and books to raise finance for 100 limited numbered edition hardback with dust jacket books. A cd comes with the book containing a wealth of material relating to Haskett Smith which did not make it into the book.  It is not easy getting such info out there!
