Hardback. Zustand: Good. Mountains and a Shore ? A Journey Through Southern Turkey (1966) by Michael Pereira Published by The Travel Book Club A quietly evocative travelogue from a time when backpacking didn?t involve Wi-Fi, influencers, or anything remotely resembling breathable fabrics. In Mountains and a Shore , Michael Pereira ambles through southern Turkey with wit, grace, and a genuine affection for the landscape and its people ? all penned in that crisp 1960s prose that somehow makes even a dusty bus ride sound romantic. Published for the tweed-clad armchair adventurer by The Travel Book Club in 1966, this edition is a proper throwback to when travel books came with maps, manners, and minimal nonsense. Expect Byzantine ruins, sleepy villages, and a decent dose of post-imperial melancholy. Sold with characteristic ambivalence by Crappy Old Books ? the home of mildly foxed paper, misplaced bookmarks, and literary charm. Good condition, with paper dust jacket.
