Softcover. Condition: Good. 7. Now in its seventh revised edition, Venice for Pleasure has become a minor classic, remaining in print for more than 30 years. Its simple object, in the authors own words, is to guide the reader to places he might otherwise miss and, having reached them, to tell him what he might wish to know and then leave him, preferably at a café." Extensive color illustrations, including classic paintings and historical maps accompany the text to reveal a Venice of 50, 100, and 500 years ago.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Eccentricity exists particularly in the English, states Dame Edith Sitwell, because of that peculiar and satisfactory knowledge of infallibility that is the hallmark and the birthright of the British nation. Originally published in 1933, The English Eccentrics has lost none of its vitality and wit. We find hermits, quacks, mariners, indefatigable travelers, and men of learning. We meet the amphibious Lord Rokeby, whose beard reached his knees and who seldom left his bath; the irascible Captain Thicknesses, who left his right hand, to be cut off after his death, to his son Lord Audley; and Curricle Coats, the Gifted Amateur, whose suit was sewn with diamonds and whose every performance ended in uproar. This is a glorious gallery of the extremes of human nature, portrayed with humor, sympathy, knowledge, and love.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Aimé Tschiffely had been teaching in an English-American school in Argentina for almost a decade when he conceived his astounding plan: to travel from Buenos Aires to New York-10,000 miles-on horseback. In April 1925, Tschiffely set out with two native Argentine horses, Mancho and Gato, and with rugged determination, the trio traversed the Pampas, scaled the Bolivian Andes, struggled through Peruvian sands, swam the crocodile-infested rivers of Columbia, and fought their way through the jungles of Panama. They crossed Central America through countries devastated by years of war to finally reach Washington D.C., followed by a reception in New York. The three had been together, exclusively, for more than two years; during that time, Tschiffely developed a remarkable relationship with his horses-an affinity that has seldom been equaled. This colorful account is a true classic of travel literature and perhaps one of the greatest animal stories ever written.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 3. Michael Jacobs takes the reader through the history of this enigmatic and vivid city in seven witty and off-beat walks stopping not only at the great palaces and museums, but the parks, paintings, posetry, novels, and patisserie-making convents that make up the vibrant life of this great capital. The text is complemented by old engravings, historic photographs, and glorious early maps, as well as a full index and practical information.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. Once one of the largest cities in the world, Isfahan is an ancient metropolis that sits across timeless trade routes. It became the glittering capital of Irans greatest dynasty, the Safavids, during the 16th century. Shah Abbas I (1587-1629) in particular helped to transform it into a city rich in art, cultural wonders, and architecture rich in form and surface decoration. Reprinted for the first time in 40 years, this astounding survey provides a history of the city from its earliest days up through the early 20th century and features dozens of photographs, engravings, and examples of the tilework and architecture from across the centuries that make Isfahan the cultural crown of Iran.
