The book presents a clean and bright internal text block, with pages remaining largely free from foxing or significant wear, though the outer page edges exhibit mild, expected age-toning. However, the external blue cloth binding has suffered significant surface loss and wear along the bottom tail of the spine and the lower edges of the rear board, indicative of historic insect or damp damage, which has exposed the underlying board in these areas. The original unclipped dust jacket (priced 21s. net) has been preserved in a protective sleeve and presents very well externally; it shows some rubbing, minor edge-wear, and internal damp staining to the flaps that mirrors the location of the binding damage at the lower extremities, but it remains bright and intact overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e First Edition. This volume is a true first printing of H.W. Tilman's classic mountaineering and sailing account, published by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press in 1957 and printed by The Stellar Press Ltd. It is profusely illustrated with sixteen pages of black-and-white photographic plates and includes two maps detailing the expedition's route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTilman's accounts of his voyages aboard the Bristol Channel pilot cutter \u003ci\u003eMischief\u003c\/i\u003e are highly regarded in both maritime and mountaineering circles. First editions of \u003ci\u003eMischief in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e remain sought after by collectors of polar, marine, and alpine exploration literature, representing the beginning of Tilman’s celebrated late-career sailing adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMischief in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e, legendary English mountaineer and explorer H.W. Tilman sets his sights on an ambitious new challenge: crossing the formidable Patagonian ice-cap from the Pacific to the Argentine lakes. Having acquired the Bristol Channel pilot cutter \u003ci\u003eMischief\u003c\/i\u003e, Tilman and a small crew sailed from England across the Atlantic, navigating the treacherous Straits of Magellan to reach their destination. The narrative seamlessly blends a gripping seafaring voyage with an arduous glacial trek, told with Tilman’s trademark dry wit, resourcefulness, and understated endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54618494730579,"sku":"5138","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260811_132122.jpg?v=1787043531","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/mischief-in-patagonia-h-w-tilman-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
