Rutstein sells hi-tech stuff in Seattle, but in his spare time, he studies the 13th-century Italian merchant, and in 1985 followed his track across Europe and Asia to China. This journal of the expedition is accompanied by his 1981 documentary film On the Roof of the World with Marco Polo, about his earlier travels. There is no index. The book and movie are produced in conjunction with the Marco Polo Foundation, also based in Seattle. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
