About This Item
London, Uk: B.T. Batsford Ltd, 1950. (2nd edition, Revised). Hardbound. GOOD+. Tight, bright, clean and square. No dust jacket. Slight softening of spine ends, 2 pages with folded corners, a few pages with underlining, one of which has a small repaired rip. Red cloth with gilt lettering. 264, indexed pages with 164 black and white photos plus map end papers. A thoroughly chatty and highly opinionated view of what you might want to see touring Italy, written shortly after WWII. A fun read toward planning a trip rather than a travel guide.
