The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Just as Marco Polo's own account of his adventures and explorations in the East will always be counted one of the world's treasures among travel books, so Donn Byrne's story of the Venetian merchant's love for the daughter of Kubla Khan is considered one of the world's most glowing romances. Told with a fiery intensity and with a magical evocation of the splendors of its Oriental background, this love story stirs the imagination. Its appeal is for everyone who has ever dreamed of far places and the excitement of strange encounters.
