Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread.

This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.

hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

[From Foreword] The present volume fills the gap left by my three previous books . . . the four together now cover the whole of the south-west corner of Turkey from Pergamum to Alanya. Lycia is still the least accessible and least visited part of this region, even though there has been a great change in recent years. When I first visited the Xanthus valley in 1946, the country was really remote. Tractors were unknown, and every man simply grew on his own patch of land enough to feed his family through the year; no one bothered to market his produce in Fethiye; the two-days trek each way with a donkey was not worthwhile. . . It is not so now; bus and lorry transport and modern agricultural machinery have produced a transformation. . . . Looking back over twenty-five years of exploration in Anatolia, I remember with most pleasure my journeys in Lycia. They were certainly strenuous, even to the point of exhaustion often enough, but the country has, at least for me, a fascination not equalled elsewhere. The scenery is impressive, often spectacular, and seen by moonlight is out of this world; and the ancient monuments, especially of course the tombs, have a quality of their own. Since Sir Charles Fellows removed the Xanthian marbles to the British Museum no excavation was done in Lycia for a century and a quarter, and most of the sites are still untouched save for illicit digging by the villagers. In 1962 the French began a thoroughgoing excavation of Xanthus and the Letoum which is still in progress, and of late work has also been done at Myra, Limyra, and Arycanda. So, although it is now seven years since I left Turkey, not much change is likely to have occurred m the meantime. The descriptions of the sites in this book are all at first hand, with the exception of Arneae, which I have never been able to visit. . . Here again I have written primarily for the traveller, presupposing an interest in antiquities rather than any special knowledge, and have not hitherto included references for the individual statements. It has, however, been represented to me that scholars who may on occasion find the books useful would welcome such references, and I have this time included a list of passages from the ancient authorities. For modern discussions the Bibliography must suffice.
