John Must's first book, China: The Great Unknown, sold out before its official release. He produced The Untamed World television nature series which went on to become an Emmy Award nominee and Canada's most successful television export. His extensive international travels of well over a million kilometers associated with this and other television projects led to the creation of the City-Companion series of books and travel guides.
