Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. On Richard's first night in Bangkok, a fellow traveller slits his wrists, leaving Richard a map to the Beach, where white sands circle a lagoon hidden from the sea, coral gardens and freshwater falls are surrounded by jungle. Richard was looking for adventure, and now he has found it. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR006197125
