8vo - 20 x 13 cm.; 200 pp. The author's first novel and his second published book. Illustrated with black and white drawings by the author. From the back cover: "In the fabulous and exotic setting of small-town New Zealand, Diesel Mystic follows the amazing experiences of a 17-year-old narrator who drives between Dargaville and Ruawai accompanied at times by an imaginary woman". The covers show some very light scuffing best seen in reflected light and the text page margins are a tad age-toned or browned.
