WOLFF (Dr. Paul).MareMagnum
Round Mystery Mountain - A Ski Adventure
xii, 246 pages. Index. Colour frontispiece illustration. Thirty-four black and white photographic plates. Maps of southwestern B.C., the district between Homathko Valley and the Waddington Group, and the district between the Waddington Group and Knight Inlet. Frequent illuminating, caustic, and politically incorrect marginal notes by prior owner whose name, D.M. Sinclair is stamped inside boards, on title page and once to contents. We believe Mr. Sinclair was a resident of Duncan, B.C. who managed a bank in Zeballos on Vancouver Island in the early 1940s during the local gold rush. The book itself is "an account of a trip through British Columbia's dense brush to Mt. Waddington, or Mystery Mountain. The party, in part British military officers, explored and climbed the 15,000 foot mountain." - Kim Whale. Reading copy only. Binding open at half-title page. Page xi loose but present. Dust jacket not included. Laid in is a small yellowed news clipping describing a brutish B.C. crime from decades past. Despite it's poor condition, Mr. Sinclair's spicy marginal comments make this a particularly interesting copy. [Edwards & Lort 3936, Whale 1648] Book
