London: Jonathan Cape, 1963, 1963. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, UNCORRECTED PROOF. 1 vol., only 175 copies printed, illustrated. Bound in the publisher's original pictorial printed wrappers, without the exceedingly scarce proof dustjacket, general light handling, hinges fine, overall a GOOD+/VG copy. The proof book contains several differences to the hardback, mostly of a typographical nature; some ommissions appear on the copyright page, the final leaf of the text differs and there are no picture credits printed at the rear. A scarce Fleming proof. Serialised in The Sunday Times (1959-60) and all collected here for the time in book form. Excessively rare.

A travelogue by Ian Fleming detailing his adventures in various cities around the world, originally written as a series of articles for the London Sunday Times.
