The High Sierra Library

[ERIC]

Great contributions. I'm making my way through the list and adding to the new High Sierra Library page. Lots of books and taking some time, but things are coming together. Sorry if some have to be left out do to being out of print.

Geez, Mark. I barely just made it though you earlier entries to this thread! Joking aside, the library isn't static and I'm happy to add any new books that are available online and that aren't already in the library. Keep'em coming...

Eric,
I volunteer one day a week at a used book store here in Mammoth...
Thus get first picks of many Sierra related books - a lot come through here - amazing how many.
Part of my library... almost all either art books or Sierra related...almost as good as the virtual one here...
BTW, do you count Peterson's Guides?

[ERIC]

That's a pretty impressive library of your own, Mark! My personal collection is minuscule in comparison and is spread out between home, office and a friend's much larger collection that I borrow from quite regularly. To this day his collection of rare prints is the most extensive I've ever seen in person.

I guess it depends on which Peterson's Guide you are suggesting.

New to this board, and not sure how this works....

Kenneth Rexroth, In the Sierra: Mountain Writings (New Directions: 2012), Kim Stanley Robinson, ed.

Rexroth's Sierra prose and poetry, plus some interesting additional stuff.

What are the criteria for inclusion in this library list? Is there a list somewhere of what already is in your library? (I have quite a few Sierra books...)

Very top (logo) - far right, it says "resources"...includes our HST library.
As to how to suggest/ include other books - Eric has the final say -
(but any book suggestions must be still in print and available from Amazon.)

BTW, Welcome.

Strange, I thought I had that one on there.
