Book Description
Excerpt from Viewpoints in Travel: An Arrangement of Books According to Their Essential Interest This list aims to present a selection of those books usually classed with the literature of travel that are interesting for other than merely geographical reasons. They may appeal to readers for their style of presentation, for their associations, for the subjects emphasized, as hunting, folk lore, nature, or for the personalities revealed. Much of this material has been lost because the usual geographical arrangement has given no clue to the wealth of subject matter in books of travel, and people have often failed to find among them the sort of thing that they are interested in - adventure, art, rural life, analysis of national character - because there has been no grouping of travel literature by these essential interests. The annotations are largely taken or adapted from A. L. A. sources, supplemented by the notes in the Open Shelf list of the Buffalo Public Library (indicated by the initial B). I am glad to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mrs. Theresa West Elmendorf, Vice Librarian of the Buffalo Public Library, for very welcome advice and help, and to my colleagues at Pratt Institute for their interest and constructive criticism. Because of the fluctuations in the book market it has not been thought wise to attempt to give the prices of the books listed, except in the case of very expensive books, and these figures must be regarded as merely approximate. The original intention was to include only books in print, but a few out of print books that could not be spared were added later, and others have doubtless gone out of print since Mr. Parker of Baker & Taylor Co. kindly revised the list for me.
