See reviews for second edition

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for reviews (which do not exist, as I write), check out the second edition, which has a number of reviews. Long story short: This is a much admired, "standard" among Alpine guidebooks although there seems to be a consensus among folks who actually have done the trek that it is prudent to supplement this book with detailed topo maps and/or other resources.
(The Kindle sample chapter is nice, especially on a PC or Kindle Fire where you can enjoy the full-color photos. My hard copy is on the way.)
(The Wall Street Journal published a nice account of the trek on 5/5/12 mentioning this book. Search "WSJ Mont Blanc." The hikers were a youngish couple but not especially athletically fit.)

Great book with tonnes of information. My husband and I have done very little "real" walking and this book gave us everything we needed to know about one of the most beautiful walks in the world. Don't forget to pack your walking poles!
