Mountain high, Europe's greatest cycle climbs
by Dan Friebe and Peter Goding.
Got this book today. Shows routes, profiles and gradients.
Excellent pictures although few/none showing epic climbing from riders in races of years gone by which is a pity.
Still highly recommended though.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.

We just mentioned this author the other day here. He interviewed someone from Belgium/Netherlands I believe. We just talked about him. Sounds good, there are 1 or 2 books a bit in that direction as well.
Oh, here is the thread, it was that one, you wait for a bus, books about Merckx.

Yeah Dan Friebe helped Mark Cavendish write Boy Racer. DF was features editor of Procycling for 5 years becoming European Editor in 2010. He has done ten TdFs apparently most likely writing about them not riding. This is what it says in the jacket of this Moutain high book.
The book is hard back and large, extremely readable, great pictures well printed from Peter Goding and £11 on Amazon at the mo. Bargain.

Was half price on Amazon.
Have to add that there are some major printing errors within it's covers.
For instance, take the Grossglockner.
The stats and the maps just don't add up.
