Catalogue Note:A pristine, unread copy of Simon Reeve’s highly anticipated follow-up to his Sunday Times bestseller, Step by Step. In this compelling memoir, the renowned BBC travel presenter takes readers behind the scenes of his most challenging and awe-inspiring expeditions, from the heat of tropical jungles to remote, restricted corners of the globe. Balancing high-stakes adventure with deep personal vulnerability, Reeve writes candidly about his struggles with mental health, fertility, and the profound lessons learned from the people he meets on the road. This "New" condition copy is an essential read for fans of travel literature and inspirational biography.Journeys to Impossible Places continues the life story Simon Reeve began in his earlier memoir, tracing his transformation from a disaffected, unemployed teenager into one of the world's most recognized travel explorers. The narrative is a gripping blend of travelogues—detailing dangerous missions and encounters in far-flung locations—and a moving exploration of his own life’s hurdles. Whether reflecting on the companionship of his dogs, the wisdom of village elders, or the complexities of fatherhood, Reeve delivers an inspiring message about battling fear, embracing risk, and finding meaning in both the grand and quiet moments of human existence.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
