Via the Caustic Cover Critic come these illustrations for a Folio Society edition of Joe Simpson's mountain-climbing memoir Touching the Void. They're by Geoff Grandfield, and there's a lot more of his work on geoffgrandfield.com.




Folio Society books are not readily available in bookstores, but you can get them through the society's website.--David E

I haven't read that one. I confess I'm not a big one for fiction usually. I prefer histories or those PBS-special-in-a-book books.--David E
