The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, 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!
In which a gay young romanticist
goes laughing and beating and
fighting his vagabond way
into the glamorous corners
of the world.
Impetuous to utter recklessness, laughing at hardships, dreaming of beauty, ardent for adventure, Richard Halliburton has managed to sing into the pages of this glorious book his own exultant spirit of youth and freedom. —Chicago Post
The mad, exhilarating, and joyous spirit of Richard Halliburton's Royal Road to Romance is the very incarnation of youth, with its horizons of rainbows and its sparkling, unquenchable, enthusiastic extravagances. —Boston Transcript
This wild young American who recently conquered the unruly waters of the classic Hellespont writes as impetuously and as dramatically as he swims. —Memphis Commercial Appeal
Richard Halliburton's tale of travel and adventure is one of the most fascinating books of its kind ever written. It is a glorious story of the irresponsibility of youth, of the dauntless spirit of the age, told with a captivating charm and a swing and a dash that take one's breath away. —Detroit News
