The perfect gift for the peripatetic and those who want to be. This compilation of over 500 quotations captures the lure of the open road, the magic of far-off places, the mystery of the road not taken, and the joy of returning home. Gordon Jackson has cast a wide net in compiling this collection, including both familiar sayings and equally insightful observations by unknown authors and travelers. Illustrated with cartoons from The New Yorker collection.
I didn't think that this book would have much content, once I saw the quirky title garnered from a Jimmy Buffet tune and the image of sandy feet.
Ahh, I should have heeded the old sage advice; "Don't judge a book by it's cover!" Once inside, this book will take you on a delightful and meaningful tour of quotes and insightful observations that focus on travel and exploration!
