Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with all corners now protected with book tape. Fading to spine. Interior and binding are still very good. Signed by author.

Kurt G Johannsen (1915-2002) was a quiet, modest man with a knack for improvising, fixing things and inventing solutions to the many problems he encountered in his working life during the infancy of road transport, as well as in his mining and other adventures. These memoirs recount many of his adventures, mishaps, and achievements, and reveal his fortitude, integrity, humour, and intelligence.
