A Rogue's Guide To Europe"A Rogue's Guide To Europe"
by Jack Matcha
All Star Classics, 1961
     No bachelor traveling overseas should be without this little book. It's a look into all the hotspots and backroom joints where a bachelor might be able to find those foreign females. Whether you're traveling to Rome, Munich, London, Paris or Amsterdam, this book has pointers on where to eat, where to drink, where to stay, and how much to tip the hotel deskman so he'll let you sneak those beauties up to your room. Each chapter has sections called "How To Trap Fellow Tourists," "How To Meet the Beautiful Natives," "Makeoutsville," and "Tips for the Rogue's Black Book." It seems, overall, the easiest ploy to get these women to fall all over you is to say that you're a Hollywood producer looking for a starlet for your next big film. I guess no matter where in the world you are, the phrase "casting couch" is the same in every language. A Rogue's Guide To Europe fall into the great category of "confidential" or "after dark" travel guides. (Two great examples being New York: Confidential(1948) and Chicago: Confidential (1950), both written by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer.) These types of books are here to help those bachelors who know that there are better things to see than crumbling landmarks and stuffy museums.
