The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of California
The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of California
ENLARGE

By Joan Tapper, with photography by Nik Wheeler

California, also called “The Golden State,” is known for reinventing itself, yet a surprising number of its towns and villages offer charming glimpses into its history and heritage. This volume showcases the most beautiful villages and towns of California through stunning photographs and insightful commentaries, evoking historic houses as well as streetscapes, parks, markets, and local surroundings. Divided into four main regions, (Northern California Coast, Northern California Mountains and Valleys, Central and Southern California Coast, and Central and Southern California Mountains and Valleys), the coverage of the towns is further extended by three photographic essays on the wine country, missions, and ghost towns. This celebration is completed by lists of essential tourist information for places to stay and to eat.

208 pages, 323 full-color illustrations, 10 1/4 in. x 12 1/2 in. Hardcover.
