ALPINE CLUB LIBRARY It is obvious that a vast amount of exploration and research has gone into the making of this Guide and the S.M.C. and the author are to be congratulated on the excellent results they have achieved. R. }EFFREY. The Complete Ski Manual. By Eddie Huber and Norman Rogers. Pp. x, 129. 11lustrated, G. Alien & Unwin, London, 1949. 12s. 6d. THIS book by two Canadians is well produced. In its I29 pages to quote the ' blurb ' ' there is a lavish supply of photographs, charts and line drawings,' and there are I I blank pages. It claims to cover everything about ski-ing from its earliest beginnings in Scandinavia to modern slalom racing and first aid on tours. • It may serve to popularise ski-ing amongst Canadians but one· wonders why in these days of shortage of dollars and newsprint it should have been thought worth while to publish it in England. In a glossary of ski terms there is a definition of ' Kandahar,' which does not refer to the Kandahar Ski Club. This seems a little hard on our premier racing club which, incidentally, presented the Quebec­ Kandahar Cup to the Canadian Amateur Ski Association. I. G. AITCHISON. An advance copy of T wo Mountains and a River by H. W. Tilman (Cambridge University Press, 21s.) has been received too late for review here. It will be reviewed in our next number, and in the meantime readers may like to have their attention drawn to another characteristic book by this author. • THE ALPINE CLUB LIBRARY • By T. S.
