This book is Alan Ross's 1954 travel book, "The Bandit on the Billiard Table: A Journey through Sardinia". It is the fascinating account of a summer trip to Sardinia, an island rarely visited when the book was first published. An interesting exploration of culture and customs, this book is highly recommended for those with an interest in historical travel writing, and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing "The Bandit on the Billiard Table: A Journey through Sardinia" now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
