Inscribed in blue ink to the front free endpaper, "For Philip and Pat Orminson [?] / Rupert Croft-Crooke / July 14 1964". Croft-Cooke's idiosyncratic travel book records two journeys, the first "through the Mediterranean on a Yugoslav cargo boat during the coldest month of one of Europe's most icy winters for a century", the second "along the coastlines of some recent fiction, my choice being made for me by the booksellers in various ports on whose stocks of Penguins I relied." (from the jacket). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
