First edition. 128pp, with line drawings. Red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine. 12mo. Volume is neat, cleam, bright and tight throughout, barring a spot mark on the front free endpaper. In its original matte dust wrapper, gently bumped on extreme edges.
This volume by George Mikes, the quick-witted laureate of travellers, is named after the first part of the book, but it also includes other of his works, including 'How to be European', written for a British audience in the days before the UK joined the European Economic Community, and before the European Union was thought of.
