To say that the book is excellent would be an understatement. It is simply superb, and the quality of photos is truly amazing. All photos are colored and the quality of detail is unbelievable. I am a big fan of mountain photography, and this is one of my favorite books.
The book contains a collection of photographs taken in Karakoram, a mountain range in northern Pakistan and India, and Hindu-Kush in Afghanistan. At the end of the book, all photos are annotated with thumbnail images and explanations relating to each image. Perhaps the only drawback of the book's design is that many photos span two pages, which isn't very nice because you can't see much near the book's binding. I would rather have this book in an album format, with each photo printed on a separate page.
If you like mountain photography, especially the Himalayas or Karakoram, then I would recommend you to buy "Over the Himalaya" by Koichiro Ohmori, published by Bookwise. I couldn't find it on Amazon, though.
