A summary filled with wonderful spoilers of vol 1 would do.

Maybe you should take this here, seeing as that is the topic for Kino no Tabi.

Anyone who have read the volume 1 would they please kindly give me a summary of it filled with wonderful spoilers

Sadly I haven't read it either, wait until Ella come here and fill you with details. I suggest watching the anime version, all the stories in vol.1 have been animated. I can't check for the faithfulness of the anime adaptation of vol.1, but from what I heard it's quite faithful, with some slight changes.

I don't think just the anime will satisfy me.

And why is that? Could you be more specific? Have you watched the anime or not? If you haven't then why not watch it? If you have then what still left you unsatisfied?

It's not like that..... It's like, if I watched an anime, I have to read the manga or LN version of it or else I won't be satisfied.

So you mean you want to enjoy the original medium in full glory after watching the anime right

Way too bad English-speaking people can only make do with summaries of Kino volume 1 on the Internet.

Ella said that the summary for vol 1 will be made soon, so please wait for a while

If you want to obtain the first volume of Kino no Tabi, it's still available on amazon or another online shop, but the price is very high (23 € for the cheapest one , on alibris.com). But if you wait the price will drop. For exemple, I have obtain mine at 4 euros (amazon), transportation's fees include, it was a discard of the Brighton library.
So if you don't want to have just a summary of the first volume, you know what to do .
