This is a rare Uncorrected Advance Proof of For Lust of Knowing by Archie Roosevelt, the grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, published by Little, Brown in 1988 (480 pages). The book details his experience as a US intelligence officer who was posted around the world.

Condition-wise, the blue softcover has a few minor blemishes and just one page that has separated from the spine page [117].Otherwise the binding is remarkably tight for a temporary publication.
