Harsch, Rick - Wandering Stone: The Streets Of Old Izola

Part travelogue, part history and anecdotes of the small Mediterranean town in Slovenia off the turista radar. For better for or for worse.
A working class town, rough from the fringes to the core, plagued with motor cars, indifference, and thoughtless modernization.
Mine is the 2nd edition, and photos and comments do not always correspond. Adapt.
Literally packed with photos – black n white – so work your imagination to envision pastel colored buildings amidst bold blue skies.
This book should appeal to travelers who routinely trek beyond the familiar destinations. Say Vulcano, rather than Capri or Stromboli.
