This beautiful hardcover is in near-fine condition with no marks. Although a former library book, it remains tight, square, and unmarked. Italy Out of Hand: A Capricious Tour by Barbara Hodgson is a travel book that offers an unconventional, eclectic, and highly visual exploration of Italy. Rather than a traditional guidebook or straightforward travel narrative, this book is a richly illustrated and whimsically curated journey through the history and culture of Italy.
