A TURKISH MISCELLANY
Barrie Kerper, a former journalist and avid traveler, is the editor of eight previous books in the Collected Traveler series.
"Perfect for both the armchair traveler and those who want to get
up and go." —Chicago Tribune
"Part guidebook, part recipe book, part history book, part
character study. A fat series of essays, interviews, critiques and
travel tips, the collection is a delightful read from start to
finish, mainly because the choices are so juicy. . . . Whether
you're planning a trip or just visiting from the armchair, this is
an engaging journey." —Denver Post
"Istanbul: The Collected Traveler unfolds before us a city so full
of fun and adventure that to not want to explore is impossible. . .
. [It] lets you fall in love with the history, but keeps you
intrigued with recommendations for the present. If it’s your dream
to get lost in the emotion and color of Istanbul, this book
educates without making you feel like an outsider, with the hope
that you will be just as much in love with the city as the people
who call Istanbul home." —Bridal Guide Magazine’s Travel Blog
