Price: $17.16

High Adventure: The True Story of the First Ascent of Everest
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:

The funny thing is that people probably eschew this book, thinking it's written in "old fashioned" terminology or it's "just another summit book."

from Running Press
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:

This was a gift for someone who is enthralled with Everest, although he isn't finished with the book, he hasn't be able to put it down since it arrived! Very interesting stories, we both liked how there was a wide variety of successful climbed and failed attempts, including a sherpa's perspective!
