Over the years there have been a great number of fine books written on mountaineering themes, and one of the features of the MCofS newsletters is a regular Book Review column. The books we have reviewed are listed below.

As it's sometimes difficult to obtain copies of some books, we have entered into an association with the online bookseller Amazon.co.uk. You can follow the links from the book review pages to order the books.

Amazon.co.uk offer many items at discount prices, and if that wasn't enough, following a link from this site to Amazon means that the MCofS will receive commission on any sales to put towards our work. And that's not just for the books listed here, the same goes for sales of other books, videos, CDs, software, etc.
