This is a significant first edition copy of 'A World of My Own' by Robin Knox-Johnston, published by Cassell & Company Ltd in 1969. The book chronicles the incredible journey of the first person to sail solo and non-stop around the world. As a primary source of maritime history, this hardcover edition is a must-have for sailing enthusiasts and collectors of travel literature. The dust jacket features the iconic imagery of the 'Suhaili' yacht under sail. While the dust jacket shows some visible wear and rubbing consistent with its age, the internal pages and binding remain structurally sound. This specific printing includes the original S.B.N. (Standard Book Numbering) prior to the transition to the modern ISBN format, making it a desirable piece for serious bibliophiles and nautical historians alike.
