Great job Dean and Largo, and all who contributed to it! Man, that really takes me back. All those photos and stories in one place--fantastic. Took me right back to the simple days of swamis, hexes, EBs, and feeling like a kid in a candy store. It was definitely worth the money, and worth the wait.

I got mine from regular mail. Sorry that I'm a day ahead of you, Nature. But Seattle is known as a progressive city, and all.
You're gonna love it,

most all shipped USPS.
those that spent the extra for Priority may be getting theirs a day or two early. mooser's went Media Mail so that was impressive he got his so quick. For the price that may be the best way to go.

Got mine last week, and had the pleasure of taking it up and reading it in the Meadows, quite a treat! Sits on my coffee table on top of my Yosemite Climber book. My new favorite piece of reading and browsing. Excellent work and destined to be a CLASSIC book on climbing. Mike great story on your epic on the Aquarian! Never read that one before, killer self portrait on the summit! If you didn't order your copy....GET ON IT!
Peace

Cool. I went and checked out the website. Looked at the table of contents read the 2 essays be Jeff Jackson and John Long. Neat to see there are several articles by Bruce Adams regarding Tobin Sorenson. Looking forward to reading all of it.
I'm going to order asap. Autographed! Very nice.
Man, am I feeling nastolgic. The 70s: only thought about climbing, went climbing as often as possible (nearly every weekend and/or after school), listening to YES music and going to concerts, heavily influenced by "The Jesus Movement," my first girlfriend in 6th grade . . . Man, those were innocent influencial fun times.
I really miss the 70s.

I think if you order from Stonemaster website you get some autographs with that order. Might be worth the extra $$ for some, it is for me!

Sorry, Nature. Hope you didn't end up beating up your mail carrier.
Meanwhile, yeah...the signed copies are worth the extra coin.
