Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing). This copy inscribed by the author on the title page: "For Fred - (who?) - sorry, John - a memento of our talks about sea travel and its demise - and an appalling error. But even so - All best wishes from Gavin Young" (the 'appalling error' in question presumably being the mis-naming of the recipient). 8vo. 489pp. Blue boards lettered in silver at the spine. With map-illustrated powder-blue endpapers and various maps and drawings in the text. A virtually fine copy in fractionally marked non-price-clipped dust wrapper, with a single tiny tear to one natural fold and a touch of very light accompanying creasing. An account of the author's journeys from Greece to China using a variety of local waterborne transport, twenty-three vessels in all. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers BC18249
