Rare collection. Excellent condition. PB. 196pp. $20 including postage anywhere in Australia.
A collection of writing on travel from across the globe: Jan Morris drops into the fabled Harry's Bar in Venice; a hapless Redmond O'Hanlon battles the insect population of the Amazon; Colin Thubron declines to partake of steamed sheep's head for tea in Tajikistan; Frank Moorhouse laments the tyrany of tipping in New York; in Cairo, Michael Palin finds himself cast as a movie extra; P.J. O'Rourke seeks refuge from eco-tourism in Peru; Robyn Davidson dons a leather jacket and motorbikes it across America; and after years of reflecting on the absurdities on life on other planets, Douglas Adams finds out what's happening to life on this one, visiting the famous Komodo dragons of Indonesia.
