I'd like to learn more about the history of tourism and closely related topics (museums, hotels, resorts, leisure travel literature, etc.). Surprisingly the internet seems very useless at finding me a good book -- I either find short stuff that looks low-effort, or more specialized stuff than I'd like (focusing on a very specific time range or location).
Anyone happens to have good #book recommendations in that area? Mostly looking for exploratory/intro level stuff really.
@mrothwell thanks! Now to try and hunt a copy I guess :)
You can get it inter-library-loaned from St Gallen or Chur to e.g. ETH library (or, for 6CHF more, via mail to you directly).
Hm~, I've never tried returning books to a library by post, but I guess they should be fine with that.
@robryk @mrothwell I'm pretty sure asjoyner once returned a book to the ETH library by posting it from the US!
@delroth @robryk@qoto.org hmm, I can’t see robryk
@mrothwell complain to your server admins
@mrothwell @delroth I assumed he had tried to merge two accounts from different namespaces again
@robryk @mrothwell yeah, or Basel or Luzern, this was my plan for some time later this week 🙂
