Travel Tales: Books I Picked up, Only to Put Back on Shelf
When travelers have time to spend in a city, they resort to a multitude of activities. One of my favorites is visiting the local bookstore for bargains and new titles.
This journey is really exotic as One will always find a book that he has never seen before. Some times I do blow up my budget and have to cut short my cruise or take a cheaper one, only to buy a book.
Enough has been said about books and travel, I should come straight to point. Over time, when you think you have seen all kind of bizarre and weird books, something new comes up. I have collected below, covers of some really strange books.
Stranger is the fact that some of these books have been best sellers of their time. Enjoy them.
- How To Avoid Huge Ships by Captain John W. Trimmer
- People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead by Gary Leon Hill
