Here I have recommended two books (one is a set) which we used for the
holiday. There are some other general books on the Alps which I have yet to
read, and will add when I have done so. The book by Gaston Rebuffat is an
excellent book for picking up ideas for routes, whilst the guide by Griffin is
more like the `normal` climbing guide.

Maps
There are only two maps required to cover the routes included in this
holiday. The second one is only needed to cover the descent of the Gouter
Ridge on Mont Blanc. Both are of scale 1:25,000 (1cm = 250m).
