Glen Dawson: Mountaineer and Bookman Hardcover Ken, Pomeroy, Elizabeth W. Otto

Glen Dawson was born in 1912, seven years after his father opened Ernest Dawson's Antique Book Shop in downtown Los Angeles. Mentored by his father and fueled by his own determination, young Dawson rose to prominence in two different spheres. As a partner at Dawson's Book Shop for 60 years, he was influential in rare book circles. An avid climber and lifelong world traveller, he achieved dozens of mountaineering first ascents.

This volume explores the many facets of Dawson's incredible life, including his family, business, publications and support of organizations and institutions
