Kenis, Andrea. The Single Girl’s Guide to Europe. First Edition. 1969. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows minor fraying.
With one-liners such as, “American men often feel that if they buy you a martini, you are the olive,” this 1960’s era book is full of the pep and enthusiasm that a one would expect from a single American girl traveling in Europe in the post-World War II era. It is not an official guidebook to the continent, nor is it arranged like one. Rather, it is narrative in format. Her advice is mixed in with numerous anecdotes of her own experiences. As such, even though many of the suggestions are now outdated (T.W.A. is probably no longer the best means of transport), it works very well as a period piece.
“One of the most important things when traveling alone is to always look super! Then I find I am usually not alone.”
--Andrea Kenis
