Chessler Books

Dear Friends,

Three things in this e-mail.

First, below is a list of 300 used and rare books we have just added to our website. You can order on our website www.chesslerbooks.com or by e-mail to info@chesslerbooks.com, or by phone to 303 670-0093 or 800 654-8502.

There are some terrific rarities on Everest, K2, Manaslu and Chogolia from Japan, plus a very scarce set of Mountaineering Maps of the World. Also, a handsome copy of Amundsen's South Pole, a Vulgarian Digest, some older UK rock climbing books, Alex Lowe's only book, and some more comon books at very low prices!

Second, we have added hundred of images to our existing listings of used and rare books on our website. We will scan every book, and are halfway through the alphabet. Please take a glance, there may be some items you missed. Click on Used, Rare, Collectible Books

Third, we have re-named and expanded many of our book categories to better describe what books are where. Click on Browse Subjects

Cheers,

Michael Chessler
