Penguin 1st edition, published 1961.
“This book is for everybody who has a spark of adventure in them. Find out how to kindle that spark into a flame. It is nonsense to think adventures only happen to wartime heroes, or to peacetime millionaire explorers. You may have just left school, or just settled down to a ‘steady’ job, or just got married, or just woken up to the fact that you are in a middle-aged groove and it is time you got out of it. Whatever your case, there are only two things you got out of it. Whatever the case, there are only two things you need to know: first - what there is to choose from; second - how to get started on what appeals to you most.”
Condition grading: Good Minus. Tears to rear cover left edge shown in photographs. Light creasing to rear cover bottom right corner. Minor wear to spine. Some wear and staining to bottom edge of front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
