From a review by Dennis Rhodes: "Mr Dimitris Contominas.has not chosen to collect the earliest examples of printing in Greek, but books of all ages up to the present, and often books in English or French, which illustrate in some way or other the traveller's delight in Greek landscape, history and literature.
