Fullers: The Abels – New Edition to be launched in Hobart
Fullers Bookshop
Hotly anticipated among bushwalkers, a completely revised edition of The Abels, Volume One, the classic guide to climbing Tasmanian mountains, will be launched at Fullers Bookshop in Hobart on December 15th.
More than 150 mountains qualify for Abel status. The first volume covers half of these peaks, including such classics as Cradle Mountain, Stacks Bluff and Collins Bonnet. It was originally published in 1994, but has long been out of print, and copies have been selling for high prices through second-hand dealers.
The new volume includes revised track notes, improved maps and a superb range of photographs, and has grown substantially, from 120 to 352 pages. The book has been edited by Bill Wilkinson, assisted by a large team of volunteers.
