Description

Wonderful descriptions of the ancient classical sites of the western coast of Asia Minor (before it was developed as a tourist destination) "In the autumn of 1952 I travelled about the western coasts of Asia Minor, and counted, at the end, fifty five ruined sites that I had visited: in only one of them - and that was Pergamum - had I met another tourist, sightseeing like myself. . . . A great longing came to me to know more, and to bring a living image out of these dots and dashes of the past." 263p.+ plates, bibliography, index. Text bock unmarked,untrimmed.Donation bookplate stamped as withdrawn on paste-down, only minor signs of library ownership Greenis cloth cover is sun faded mostly along the spine.
