Big Sur. San Francisco. etc. It combines high-quality photography with intelligent. witty text that goes a bit beyond the usual coffee-table-book banter.This book can be enjoyed either for browsing. or for a bit of in-depth history of the Golden State. Great for coffee tables. great for gifts.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
