London: Chatto and Windus, 1953. Early Reprint. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good+. 8vo. Pp. viii, 183. Frontis. photo. Amply illustrated throughout with superb nocturnal photography. Bound in full blue cloth with gilt lettering stamped on spine. Very slight suggestion of spine lean. In the photo-illustrated dust jacket that shows light edge-wear, price of 15s intact on the front flap. (Please excuse glare in photos.). Top-notch treatment of the short-lived phenomenon of youth climbing drainpipes, towers, spires and chimneys on the campus of Cambridge University. The photographs document absurd spire-bagging, with students proudly perching atop the most pointed architectural pinnacles. The narrative delves occasionally into mock-heroic prose, underscoring the absurdity of the trend. Perhaps Hillary was inspired by the Cambridge kids. Dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .

London: Chatto & Windus,, 1937. First edition, first impression, of this cult classic of night-time climbing on the roofs of Cambridge colleges, which has proved an inspiration for generations of urban explorers. The first impression of October 1937 is very uncommon and much sought after; more commonly encountered is the November reprint. The improbably named author "Whipplesnaith" was in fact a certain Noël Howard Symington, of King's College. Octavo. Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in black morocco, spine lettered in blue metallic foil, twin rule to turn-ins in blue metallic foil, blue endpapers, gilt edges. Half-tone frontispiece from a photograph, 27 half-tone leaves printed on both sides. A fine copy.
