Donna, "Into Thin Air" was chilling, wasn't it? And the IMAX movie that was made, based on that book, was too! If you ever have the opportunity to see it, you should.
As for reasonably priced books, Scott uses www.half.com a lot of the time and also the Amazon used book site. I have not checked either for the book you mentioned, but now I will. If I find it, I'll let you know. Perhaps we could share a copy. Just like you, I am very interested in anything written about Mt. Everest. Please help me to remember to watch for your friend's book. I followed his story very closely when you were posting his journal for us.
