About This Item
New York: Coward-McCann, Inc.. Very Good+ in Near Fine dj. (c.1969). First Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight copy, minimal shelfwear, bookplate on front endpaper, tiny light brown stain on bottom of text block, similar minor staining on rear endpaper (I'm thinking a careless tea-drinker); jacket very lightly soiled, with just a touch of wear at the spine ends, short diagonal creases at corners of rear flap]. "When Lydia Barnett set out for Greece as a summer traveling companion to a rich and feckless American woman, she hoped to strike an intimate acquaintance with the fabled ruins -- Mycenae, Rhodes, Tiryus -- she'd spent so many hours evoking for her sixth-grade pupils. Secretly, she'd even dreamed of an encounter that might lead to a summer romance. Before Lydia had been twenty-four hours in Greece, however, she found herself deep in more excitement -- and more danger -- than she'd ever in her wildest imagination bargained for." (One plot element has a crew of filmmakers shooting on location in a small Greek town." .
