This book has a special and unique purpose. It offers a method of printing an east to west (or right to left) overland movement within the traditional left to right book or magazine format. It demonstrates that, properly arranged, editorial matter can read from right to left, and, in the case of an overland diary that right to left text immediately related to maps on the same page can heighten considerably the reader’s empathy with the diarist and his story.
