Hardback. Etat : Good. Travels of a Capitalist Lackey (1965) by Fred Basnett Companion Book Club Edition Sold by: Crappy Old Books Step aside, earnest travel writers and polished jet-setters?Fred Basnett is here to take you on a ride that?s part travelogue, part satire, and entirely unfiltered. In Travels of a Capitalist Lackey , this unrepentant everyman lumbers across Europe not in search of enlightenment, but in pursuit of cheap beds, strong drink, and the occasional warm meal. Armed with dry wit, a battered suitcase, and a healthy disdain for pretension, Basnett skewers tourist traps, bureaucracies, and cultural absurdities with a laugh-out-loud charm. From grimy pensions to unexpected conversations with fellow misfits, this 1960s jaunt is as much about surviving the journey as it is about the destinations. A forgotten gem reissued in all its gloriously outdated glory by Crappy Old Books ?perfect for anyone who prefers their travel tales served with sarcasm, skepticism, and a touch of socialist suspicion. Out of print, slightly musty, and well worth the trip. Good condition overall, but the dust cover appears slightly corroded along front and back book board. THe dust jacket is still good, but you might want to treat it in some way, maybe with an inner layer of paper from the inside to reinforce it.
