Shipton's classic details his exploration, with Tilman, of the Shaksgam region north of the main Karakoram range in 1937. Together with the original prospectus for this book. This double-sided prospectus describes the book together with an order form. A nice piece of ephemera to go with this classic work. This very nice copy is protected by a color facsimile of the original attractive dust jacket. Scarce.
