The Letters of Patrick Leigh Fermor: Dashing for the Post, selected and edited by Adam Sisman. The cover features a black-and-white image of Leigh Fermor seated and writing, with a thoughtful expression and a pen in hand. The title is printed in elegant serif and script fonts, with “Dashing for the Post” in a handwritten-style gold script. The overall design is clean and classic, with a soft grey and white colour scheme that conveys a literary and reflective tone.

Latest addition to the Patrick Leigh Fermor first edition collection. Trying to find them all without internet cheating.
