BINDING/CONDITION: beige cloth; owner's name and address on the front endpaper, otherwise a Very Good book, with a Good dust jacket; the jacket is price clipped, but bears a publisher's price sticker off to the side of the clip.. 8vo (8.75 inches tall) . Index. Description: A double page map frontis in two colors (map by E G Morton), plus eight double sided black and white photo plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''In his earlier book, Within the Taurus, Lord Kinross was the first traveler to give a full account of a journey in Asiatic Turkey since its reopening to foreign visitors. In this complementary volume, Lord Kinross travels down from the Asiatic plateau to the lands which lie 'without the Taurus', between the mountain barrier and the sea. His journeys take him from Antioch and the Syrian frontier in the East, along the Mediterranean and the Aegean coast of Turkey to Istanbul and the Greek frontier, in the West. For the most part, Lord Kinross again travelled alone, as opportunity and chance directed, welcoming the unexpected, and relying on such varied transport as fortune and the country offered. The contrasts of past and present are brought vividly to mind, showing the changing nature of a people and a country which has served alternatively as a bastion of Europe and Asia, and is now turning once more westwards.''
