    FS: Anselme Baud's Mont Blanc and the Aiguilles Rouges: A Guide for Skiers

    Hello,

    I've got one of these bibles for sale:



    They are currently on Amazon for seventeen hundred dollars. It's not in brand-new condition, a couple of the pages have had their corners folded down to mark descents on the wishlist, but it is still functional and beautiful.

    Also, it's currently in storage until December, as I am moving house at the moment, so I'll bump this thread then, but I just thought I'd throw this out there to gauge interest.

    Have a good day everyone.

    I was really curious about a $1700 book; found it new, shipped from Sweden for 449KR (approx. US$60).
    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Wow, that's much cheaper than Amazon.

    I sure hope that not everyone has your Googlefu, this could be a month's rent for me! Quick, buy all the copies from the Swedish site for me...

    449kr is the price with shipping.

    Okay, I've now adjusted my prices, the book can be yours for just one thousand dollars.

    Wow, tough market, this one.

    I've moved into my new house for the next five months, and I now have access to the books, so I thought I'd bump this thread up, just in case skistore.se doesn't come up with the goods...

    Just to clarify, I'm not really asking for thousands of dollars (I'd feel filthy accepting that kind of money), but I am open to offers.

    Snow, by the way, is thinking about falling here in Chamonix, but we've got a long way to go before nipple-deep powder days. Have a great day everyone!

    I attempted to buy a copy of this book from skistore.se. Those guys do not actually have the book, nor does anyone that shows it on their website (mostly European book dealers). Like with skistore.se, when you place the order, you are then notified that it's on 'indefinite backorder'.

    I was in Chamonix a year ago and did not see any for sale either. I guess they really are not going to print any more.

    I hope you sold your copy at some ridiculously inflated price and made enjoyable videos to post here and skiied like mad.

    There's a new version coming out in a month. Any info on what's in it?

    Where did you hear that there's a new version coming out? The publisher told me about a year ago that they would not be doing anything further. Would be great if a new version is in the works.
