This was one of the most popular mountaineering books of all time; it sold double-digit millions of copies. It describes the 1950 French expedition to Annapurna, the first successful summit of an 8,000-meter peak. Author Maurice Herzog made the summit but lost most of his fingers to frostbite (making it all the more impressive he signed these books).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThese are first edition US hardcover copies of Annapurna signed by author Maurice Herzog.
