Fellwalking with a Camera by Alfred Wainwright with Dust Jacket

Alfred Wainwright (1907 to 1991)—British fell walker, guidebook author and illustrator, best known for his seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, the standard reference work to the 214 fells of the English Lake District, which are now known as 'Wainwrights'. He also wrote and illustrated numerous other books on the Lake District, Scotland, Northern England and Wales including two of his other major works, Westmorland Heritage and Wainwright in Lakeland

Westmorland Gazette—(Founded in 1818) A British publisher which publishes the main weekly newspaper for the Lake District, but is probably best known as the publisher of books by Alfred Wainwright. They were the publishers all but one of of Wainwrights books from 1964 (with the publication of The North-Western Fells) to the last Sketchbook (the Peak District Sketchbook, which was the last ever Wainwright book containing new illustrations) in 1984. Wainwright in Lakeland, although originally published by Abott Hall, was printed by The Westmorland Gazette and published by them in a later edition. Walks from Ratty is the only true exception, published by Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Company. The first printing was printed by the Westmorland Gazette (this later changed to Titus Wilson), but they never actually acted as the publisher. Note on identifying first editions: The Westmorland Gazette had no consistent system for identifying first editions. Most Pictorial Guide Series books have an impression number printed in them if they are later printings, although this practice seems to have been abandoned some time in the 1980s. First editions of other books can only be identified by reference to specific points on a book by book basis, with the published price being a common issue. Lists of other books in print found at the start of many titles were rarely updated after the early to mid 1970s and provide almost no assistance in identifying editions.

Photo Book Series—A series of books by Alfred Wainwright produced in a coffee table style, motivated by his failing eyesight, which made producing new quality drawings difficult. They mostly used photographs by Derry Brabbs combined with a selection of Wainwrights previously published illustrations and newly written text. Wainwright in the Limestone Dales and Wainwright's Tour in the Lake District used Ed Geldard as photographer and Fellwalking with a Camera used Wainwright's own black and white photographs. The complete series runs: Fellwalking with Wainwright, Wainwright on the Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, Fellwalking with a Camera, Wainwright in Scotland, Wainwright on the Lakeland Mountain Passes, Wainwright in the Limestone Dales, Wainwright's Favourite Lakeland Mountains, Wainwright in the Valleys of Lakeland and Wainwright's tour in the Lake District. The series contains 10 books. The first book was originally published in 1984 and the last book was originally published in 1993
