Around the World on Expenses. I Came, I Saw, I Lost My Luggage.

London England: Abacus, 1996. Paperback. Waterstain mark to bottom corner of last few pages. Couple of slight creases to cover. Still convinced that the only true modern traveller is the business travelloer. The author takes us on another irreverent global tour. He snubs his nose at the 'gimmick tourists', eschews crossing the Sahara naked on a skateboard and carries on doing what he does best - business, all over the world, with a wonderully diverse range of characters. Power-players in Milan, storm-trooping language police in Toronot, and just general chaos in Kinshasa: a mere selection of the obstacles the interenational businessman must face as he struggles to get to grips with the local way of doing things. But it's all in the name of commerse, and whether he's trapped in a luxury hotel during the riots in Bombay or working his way through a Good Food Guide to Ouagadougou in one of the poorest countries in the world, the author usually comes up trumps....not necessarily with the deal he was after, but always with a hilarious tale to tell. 378 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Abacus Edition. Soft Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Paperback.
