FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION [1970] THE VIKING PRESS 

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.

Dust jacket is very good; fully in tact with a few tiny edge tears and some tanning to back. 

Book itself is very good as well;  looks and reads like new with an old book smell to pages.

Small dark stain to text block; just visible on edges of a page or two mid-book [see last photo[.  

Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over fifty years at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon Southwood, his dahlias and the Major next door to travel her way, Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay. Through Aunt Augusta, a veteran of Europe's hotel bedrooms, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society: mixing with hippies, war criminals, CIA men; smoking pot, breaking all the currency regulations and eventually coming alive after a dull suburban life. In Travels with my Aunt Graham Greene not only gives us intoxicating entertainment but also confronts us with some of the most perplexing of human dilemmas.
