August long weekend means
cottage country and trips to water bodies. This week’s Biblio-Mat book falls
along the same lines of just getting away from it all:
Title:
Escape to the West Indies
Witten by Bradley Smith and published
in 1959, it’s an interesting look at a relatively unspoiled paradise. Each regional
chapter begins with population and geography information that is definitely
dated now but still fun to flip through.
A hundred and fifteen photographs accompany
the text, showing a good variety of people, architecture, and the sheer beauty
of the land and seascape.
Unfortunately the photographs are in
black and white, which doesn’t capture the vividness of Caribbean water, but empty
beaches bereft of resorts and tourists make up for it.
