Yes. What I´ve got is a Swiss publication of his up-dated book of the 80s. It´s in German if you can read it I´ll send you the amazon link

It's amazing how skilled and courageous he was in completing those FAs/climbs, yet he's so clear expressing his fears, self-doubt, betrayal. You'd think a guy with that record would be fearless but it's probably just because he was so in touch with his humanity that he could overcome the obstacles. But it sure wasn't without a lot of hard work.
Admirable man. And Italian, to boot.
