Protected in Mylar cover. This is the American edition of the classic children's book by Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond books (and films). It's all about the big green Paragon Panther the Pott family developed. It was no ordinary car. The fantastic car could be an airplane or a boat. So the Potts took a sea voyage from their English home and found a gangster's hidden cave. The rest of the story gets exciting, especially when the Potts are in the clutches of Joe the Monster and his mob! This was the last book Fleming wrote and did not live to see it published.
