This vintage travel guide, “Tunisia, a Vacation Guide” by Michael Tomkinson, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes of this North African country. Published in the mid-20th century, it captures a time when tourism was on the rise in Tunisia, as travelers sought to explore its ancient Roman ruins, vibrant markets, and diverse blend of Arab, Berber, and European influences. Tomkinson’s vivid descriptions and practical advice transport readers to the winding alleys of Tunis’ medina, the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, and the azure waters of the Mediterranean coast. As a vintage guidebook, it serves as a valuable historical resource, providing insights into the country’s tourism industry, infrastructure, and cultural norms of that era. Collectors and readers with an interest in travel literature, cultural studies, or the history of Tunisia will appreciate this well-preserved copy, which despite some wear on the dust jacket, remains in good condition with clean pages and a secure binding.
