The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

The book is classic travel-adventure from the late 30s. The first part details travels in the Occident, and the second part, the Orient. It is written as a father might write to his son or daughter with a large number of photographs and illustrations throughout. It comes across not just as a travel book, but in many ways it captures a world that's long gone. Some of the places mentioned were later ravaged by World War II or other calamities.
