Adelman, Seymour — Changing Patterns in the Function of Travel Agencies

Philadelphia, Penna, Taylor & Hessey, 1981. Softcover. Tan stapled wraps, 32 pp. one newspaper ad copy tipped in. A speech first delivered in 1962, and published as one of the essays in "The Moving Pageant" in 1977. Imagines the opportunity of using a travel agency to go back in time to London in December 1817, when the intrepid traveler could have gotten the autographs of six poets: William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and Edgar Allan Poe. Leave it to a well-known collector of literary manuscripts to come up with such wonderful folly. VG- (Slight soiling or aging to cover; interior is clean; #135 of 400 copies.) .
