Published by the Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand, 1981, First edition, 182 pages. Slight wear to edges, sticker mark at top right of front cover, otherwise in good secondhand condition.

While this book is principally a history of the Federation, it also is an important record of the overall development of mountain recreation within New Zealand. I commend the book to anyone who wants to learn more about mountain recreation, mountain clubs and their federation.

- from the foreword by Federation President David Henson.
