Fred Beckey's 100 Favorite North American Climbs por Fred Beckey (Libro tapa dura publicado por Patagonia/también disponible como ebook, $14.95)

Fred Beckey is a national, no, international treasure. It was extraordinarily meaningful for Chouinard and Patagonia to support the book and film. These projects are a good start to begin the process of understanding his life and his work. Nice.

Excellent book with amazing pics!

I purchased the ebook edition but was very disappointed due to the ebook publishing quality, not the writing. One of the key features of any climbing book (even a coffee table version like this) are the topos and photos that are included. The versions that are included with the kindle edition are so low resolution that you cannot enlarge and enjoy the photos at full screen resolution, and the topos are so low resolution that you cannot read the text or make out the symbols, even if you enlarge them as much as possible. Sadly, the e-book versions are worthless. I have tried viewing on iphone, ipad and on-screen computer kindle.
I hope patagonia addresses this (by including higher resolution versions of the topos), as it reflects badly on the publisher and does a disservice to Fred's monumental work.

Great book, full of detail, fine imagery and real life climbing. Not much better than this.
