Into Thin Air

Jon Krakauer · Villard (Random House) (New York) · 1997

US Villard 1997 is the true first, preceding the UK Macmillan edition. The first printing precedes Krakauer's added postscript responding to Anatoli Boukreev's account (added in later printings/editions), making the true first textually distinct. Verify 'FIRST EDITION' and the number line.
