The Ascent of Everest di John Hunt
Excellent stuff. Manages to combine refreshingly un-imperial attitudes to non-Brits (i.e. treats the Sherpas as real people, albeit a little patronisingly - some modern mountaineers could learn a lot) with great stiff-upper-lip stoicism.

Another book retelling the story of the 1953 ascent of Everest, and the back cover suggests that this is "the greatest classic of all mountain-climbing books". It's a paperback, and there are some b/w illustrations. I quite likely got this at the same time as my book about Tenzing
I really like the comedy in the dialogue that Kate Jacobs provides. It makes for a great read and an entertaining peek at cooking TV.
