Add to basketHarry Hervey. Where Strange Gods Call Pages Out of the East. NY: The Century Co., 1924, 1st. edition, x, 349 pp. *** This is not a travel book in the normal sense, but rather a record of personal experiences in the author's quest for ?romance?, a quest that led over the Blue Road (ocean) to far, flowery cities ? to Zamboanga, to Singapore, to Rangoon, and other towns with gorgeous-sounding names [from dust jacket]. Apparently the author was able to filter out the filth and odors part of these places. Hervey's writing style is lyrical and very descriptive. With pictorial map end papers by George Annand, a frontis., and six (6) uncolored, full-page illustrations after drawings by Christopher Murphy. The original color illustrated Dust Jacket (not price clipped) is in a clear protective cover. This book is in my inventory and the images are of this particular item. *** Bound in green cloth boards with small stamped pictorial gilt on the front cover, gilt lettering on the spine. The covers have very light soil and wear. The jacket is soiled with wear and light chipping on edges and spine ends (no loss) with the largest chip (½ inch) at bottom of spine, one closed tear on spine repaired on verso with archival tape. The contents are clean and complete in a good binding. VG+ in G jacket. *** 9 inches tall by 6.25 inches.
