Denham, H.M. The Adriatic, A Sea-Guide to Its Coasts and Islands. First Edition. 1967. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—previous owner’s name is written on the flyleaf, and jacket shows minor edge tears.
Seasoned captain H.M. Denham takes the reader on a magnificent cruise around the Adriatic Sea, as if one were aboard a small yacht. The journey begins at the Adriatic’s mouth, between Albania and Greece, and continues north along the vertiginous coasts of what was then Yugoslavia. He lingers amid the lagoons surrounding the magical city of Venice, and then heads southward along the Italian coast. The book includes frequent b & w illustration and several sections of b & w photographic inserts.
“Crossing into Italian waters from Yugoslavia one is struck by the gay colorful country, a land of plenty, and a people with a unconscious artistic temperament.”
--H.M. Denham
