I bought and downloaded "
A Traveller's Greece: Exploring the History and Culture of Greece," published in 2005. It is a weird mix of guidebook and history book, with things like
walk 10 paces and stand under the arch. This is where ________ kissed his wife before sailing to Byzantium. (Not a quote, just making it up as an example)
I think its strangeness will make/makes it obscure, because it will only appeal to us weirdos who read travel guides even when we are
not planning a trip. OK, in honesty, we plan a couple of weeks in Greece next year for our 20th anniversary, but for now, I'm just enjoying the guidebooks.
I have a hardback book on my shelf with instructions of how to carve birds out of wood. How's that for mainstream obscure?
