It's difficult to find the appropriate superlatives for this book.  If you have any interest in alpine mountains order this book.  Its likely to be the mountaineering book of the decade. As you would expect every page has a 5 star photograph but the text is up to date and informative as well.  I have no commercial interest in this book other than being a customer.

How have you got a copy?!

Eagerly waiting for my copy to arrive.

Did you order via the Kickstarter? Been waiting ages for it to turn up!

He is busy signing and sending out copies from his lair near Leicester this week! There are copies in the Cham bookshops now.  Its a masterpiece.

Good to hear. I've been reading about its ongoing production. Sounds like a great book. 

Ordered mine via kick-starter back in November,  can't wait for it to drop through the letter box. 

I ordered my copy on the strength of the beautiful photography, but the narrative is every bit as strong. 

The essays are compelling, capturing all the motivations for alpine climbing -  aesthetics, achievement, escapism and profound camaraderie through sharing a rope ... as well as the odd experience-building misadventure and near-miss.

I'm biased, because I volunteered a bit of help reading the book as proofs, but I whole-heartedly agree that it's destined to become a classic. As with other kickstarters, I'm eagerly awaiting delivery  

Anyone from kickstarter already receive his copy ? I can't wait to read that book !

Got mine some time ago, great book.

Mine arrived today. It is a masterpiece. 

From the Kickstarter?

Yep, via Kickstarter order. Not sure how long the dispatch process will take, but I'm guessing it's more one man, lorry full of books and boxes with a reel of packing tape ... rather than an Amazon distribution centre.

Yes, a few weeks ago now but I also bought a print of on of the pencil drawings. 

Same here. I was thinking if he’s signing them in alphabetical order Mr Doghouse come before Mr Galpinos but Tony M has popped me to the post too! 

This may come as some surprise but Doghouse is where I usually find myself, not my real name )

Great ! Nothing yet here in France but really waiting for it

Got an email over the weekend that almost all of the pre-orders will be delayed by around a month due to quality issues with the book jackets

Me too But, I'm really looking forward to it!  

I’m writing as a friend and mountain guiding colleague of Ben’s, so can’t claim objectivity....

Alpenglow is an amazing book. Merely climbing all 82 4000ers is an incredible achievement in itself, but to have done so with such a variety of stylish routes and partners, and with the spare capacity and self-discipline to photograph them all is a world-class mountaineering accomplishment. 

The photography is beautiful. But Ben has written a series of essays which are informative, entertaining, inspiring, witty, and often moving.

If you have not already done so, buy this book.
