Publisher's Synopsis
The New Baedeker: Being Casual Notes Of An Irresponsible Traveler is a travelogue written by Harry Thurston Peck and published in 1910. The book is a collection of Peck's travel experiences across Europe and the United States, where he shares his observations and impressions of different places, cultures, and people. Peck's writing style is witty, humorous, and often irreverent, making this book an entertaining read. The title of the book is a reference to the Baedeker travel guides, which were popular in the early 20th century. However, Peck's book is not a conventional travel guide but rather a personal account of his travels. The New Baedeker covers a wide range of topics, from the beauty of European cities to the quirks of American small towns. It offers a unique perspective on travel and is a valuable read for anyone interested in the history of travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
