Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 0671782266. Book is clean and tight, signed by author on title page. Former owner's name inside front cover with gift notation from his son. Very small spot on front cover has surface lifted (about size of head of straight pin, the back has a spot the size of a dime that doesn't feel as smooth as the rest of cover. The top of spine has a small place that is bumped. Dust jacket does have shelf wear just at top edge of spine and the tip of one corner. An American in Portugal with a difference, I even love the Table of Contents: Lost Souls, "Indiana Jones versus d'Artagnan" or another is "How to Recognize American Tourists"; 254 pages; Signed by Author.
The author Datus Proper drove all over Portugal with his friend in an old diesel/manual Peugout station wagon. They hunt , eat , philosophy and relate Portugese history. I did the same trip 10 years later and found it to be pretty much the same as they found it. Nice ruminations on portugese wines and , of course , fly fishing the crystal clear trout streams. You will love this book ! I did.
