The object
A book that looks like it has somewhere to be.
The standard editions tell the story. The Premiere Edition gives it a good suit: casebound in linen, hot-stamped in copper foil, with bespoke printed endpapers waiting for you when you open the cover.
It’s finished to an archival standard, because a story that took a family across a continent deserves a binding that can take a little handling.
- Cloth over boards, casebound in linen
- Copper foil hot stamping
- Bespoke printed endpapers
- 336 pages, with colour illustrations
Numbered & signed
Numbered. Signed twice. Then closed for good.
There will only ever be a hundred. Each one is individually numbered, and the run carries two signatures: mine, and Little Marc’s, who was eight years old when the family set out and says the journey has never left him.
When they’re gone, they’re gone. No second run, no “special reissue”, no quietly adding another hundred when nobody’s looking.
The story inside
A true story of faith, wit and the will to keep going.
In 1956 a family set out to drive from the Belgian Congo to Brussels in a classic Volkswagen Beetle. Deserts, uncertain borders, and long stretches where progress depends less on planning than on patience.
‘Smile and wave. If we look like we mean it, they might not notice we’re idiots.’

Before you decide
Fair questions.
How many copies are there?
A hundred, and not one more. Each is individually numbered.
Who signs it?
The Premiere Edition run includes signatures from both the author and Little Marc.
What else comes with it?
A few thoughtful early-supporter keepsakes, as a thank-you for ordering directly from the author.
Is the picture the finished book?
The images show intended designs and are AI-generated mockups, so small details of the finished book may differ.
What about shipping and tax?
Shipping, taxes and discounts are calculated at checkout. If anything is unclear, send me a message on WhatsApp.
Not quite a collector? There are other ways in.
Last call for a numbered copy.
A hundred copies, linen-bound and signed twice. When they’re gone, the only way to get one is to befriend someone who did.
