Racist Old Travel Guides Are Fun







On our memorably lovely gallivant through Seattle a few weekends ago, Saint Cat picked up this incredible bookstore treasure from 1936 I've been meaning to share with y'all. See if it fascinates, cracks you up, and depresses you as much as it did us. (All images are clickable so you can get a better view; apologies for their blurriness!)





Love old maps. Note the former gringo name for the Northwest Territories...




Ah, Lowell, there you are again, whispering sweet nothings in my ear: "Slant-eyed coolie..."




Gotsta gets me a big blond Viking for my boudoir!!!




Worth reading. Rilly.




Mmmmmmm, cunning fingers...
