Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The emphasis of the National Geographic photographers on 1950s-early '60s "kids and families" photos is . . . charming. Redheads, freckles, rolled-up bluejeans, watermelon picnics. . . . Are the tykes really still allowed to climb freely on all those alpine precipices over rushing rapids? Together, these two large, jacketed quartos weigh nearly 7 lbs. Shipping Priority or outside the U.S. is likely to be costly. The pair now reduced from $12.50.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. ~#~ Our chart merely noted the spot as "ruins." But what magic ruins these were! For this dot on my map was Troy. The very name conjured up Achilles and Hector; Helen's legendary beauty that "launched a thousand ships" when its prince, Paris, stole her from Sparta; the golden treasure that emerged from the dust in one of archaeology's most fantastic adventures. The deck of the ketch Yankee heaved under my feet to the surge of Homer's "sea deep-thundering." Our sails swelled to the same winds that bore Agamemnon's fleet across the Aegean from Greece. We studied the sunny Turkish coastline from our deck where the vengeful Greeks landed for the ten-year siege. Suddenly, 30 centuries of myth and history came alive. Jason and his fabled Argonauts passed here in quest of the Golden Fleece. Xerxes, King of Persia, flung a bridge of boats across the Hellespont and marched Asia's hordes against the handfuls of Greece. Alexander the Great crossed here to invade Asia and conquer the greatest empire the world had yet known. The Loose map at the end pocket has beeen used. Twenty-two centuries later a retired German merchant, Homer in hand, to fulfil a boyhood dream. ~#~ THIS BOOK: A Near Fine Book, it has been read and, there is some light discolouration to the edges of the boards, Some bumping very minor. #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
