AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very RARE and beautiful and interesting book on "Japan as We Saw It" written by Robert S. Gardiner in 1892....only a few copies available worldwide!!!!
Robert S. Gardiner visited Japan in the late 1880s or early 1890s as a tourist (Unfortunately, it is not clear from text when exactly he visited Shizuoka). His book is an interesting mix of travel diary and guide book. However, what differentiates Gardiner’s book from similar books of the time is that it was specifically intended for those on a modest budget. Inside clean and complete. Giant map of Japan at the end in fine condition. Externally softback with wear around edges and corners, shelfwear, light losses, a bit fragile.
Scarce!!!!
