Description:
Early in-depth analysis of French Literature. The binding and spine are in excellent condition, especially considering the age of the book, the outside cover shows quite a bit of shelf wear. It has a really psychedelic "paint-splash" theme that envelopes the insides of the cover as well as the outside page edges. A really nice book. There are no tears, markings or writing, there are however stains on a few pages, nothing really bad, and some mild yellowing on the pages.

Description:
After eleven years as an American living in London, the renowned travel writer Paul Theroux set out to travel clockwise around the coast of Great Britain to find out what the British were really like. It was 1982, the summer of the Falkland Islands War, and the birth of the royal heir, Prince William--and the ideal time, Theroux found, to surprise the British into talking about themselves. The result is a candid, funny, perceptive, and opinionated travelogue of his journey and his findings. The book itself is in good condition, with little shelf wear. The dust jacket is in better than fair condition with a little wear and tear. There is a blue on white map of Great Britain on the inside of both covers.
